Norfolk Nips – 3 (21 January 2012)
– final episode in the trilogy of Nips 1, 2 and 3: a new
route to the almost-lost village of Syderstone, with a tea stop at the Amy
Robsart village hall. There and back, a round trip of 64 miles (103km), which
because of strong winds, took 4hr:27 of peddling. Quite a few called off, so in
the end, only 115 took part; probably because of the wind and rain. But still
another great ride and well worth the effort.
Once off the Reepham road we headed west into Breckland and the heart of rural
Norfolk, crossing various Wensum tributaries several times and following the
Wensum valley through the water meadows on our way to Whissonsett and eventually
Syderstone, the half-way point. It was a charming and picturesque route through
quaintly named villages like Fustyweed, over delightful streams and alongside
waterways; through Bylaugh park, North Elmham and Brisley, briefly pausing to
see the Seagrims heros’ plaque at Whissonsett and recalling the Lost Villages
club runs we’d done.
Buffeting by the strong westerly headwind took its toll on my legs, and despite
the pleasure of the surrounding countryside, made me glad to the reach the
turning point for refreshments and a change of direction. From there, eastward,
we literally sailed home with good speed from a following wind.
Felmingham and back was 91 miles.
Sunday 8th January saw the first event of the year with the EACC 50
mile reliability ride.Strange how
enthusiasm fades at 7.00am in the morning... 6 club
members entered the event which was in stark contrast to the bitter and
dangerous conditions of the previous year. The route went from Horsford to
Aylsham then towards Cromer, branching off at Felbrigg to the Holt roundabout
where we crossed and made our way down to Melton Constable. Here, we turned
right back on the Horsford road and home. First back of the 5 was Nick P
followed by John H, Ian S , Bruce M and finally Geoff P. A very well attended
event with around a 100 competitors. The best part of the day was seeing Geoff
Paice and Chris Humble at the layby on the A148 to cheer us on and again Geoff
on the Blickling roundabout to encourage battered and tired bodies on the
last leg of the 50 miles.

Aylsham grandad raises thousands on epic bike ride.
Robin Rush from Aylsham was the oldest among a group of 20 riders to complete
the 1,100 mile journey from Land’s End to John O’Groats and is now preparing to
distribute his whopping total amongst various good causes.
The grandad-of-seven, who played rugby into his forties and competed in European
tug of war competitions, said he wanted to challenge himself to mark becoming a
septuagenarian. And he ticked off a long held ambition when he tackled the
gruelling ride, which was made even more tough by severe weather conditions.
The Pound Lane resident said: “I do a lot of sport and I just like a challenge
now and again. We averaged 100 miles a day but the last two days were quite
horrendous because we got the tail end of one of the American hurricanes in
Scotland, so we had constant rain and gale force winds.
