As you probably know that area better than me, Jolly Giant, can you put a route together with some nice biking roads, please? Perhaps a circular route of about an hour(ish) so we end up fairly central again for people to head for home again?

The lorry park in Bury has a decent cafe and plenty of space for a group of us.

Ok then why dont we meet at the lorry park and end it at Red lodge, Cos from Bury we can the long way to Thetford then on to Watton then Brandon, Mildenhall and then a short rip up the A11 to Redlodge prob about 1hr ride I think depends on how hard you go!! On good fat biking roads....

Then Bacon rolls both ends laugh.gif

All the better chance to show off a bunch of TDM's if there's a decent turnout. Worth anticipating now, in a general sort of way so people can mark it down? How about 22 June as a "Midsummer Fest"? Couldn't ask for a longer day (chance of visitors from farther afield?) - and it might even be sunny this time?

Great to be off to a positive start with the April "do" - well done lads! Don't forget to bring yer camera.

No way could I do the 22 June, as it is my folks' 50th wedding anniversary (or adversary as my Dad calls it!).

April 5th is good fer me though. smile.gif
