Ten riders turned up for our ride to Aylsham, only to be expected on such a nice day. It was especially nice to see our Secretary, Elke, joining us after a long spell of ill health. We split into two groups of five for a scenic ride across Norfolk on some wonderful B roads. You don’t need to go very far to find lovely riding roads in our part of the world.
I usually use an app called “My Route App” to let people know the suggested route. This can then be downloaded onto satnavs so we all know where we’re going. However, there is usually someone who uses their own route, so we never end up at our destination at the same time. So it proved this time. I led a group on my suggested route, which took about an hour. The other group, led by our Chief Bike Observer, didn’t arrive until we were well into our tea and cakes at the station café. Something to do with twisty routes. Or maybe they just got lost. I must admit that I took a wrong turn in Aylsham, poor signage in my opinion, so we had to do a U-turn. Still got there first though.
After refreshments and interesting conversation, we had a quick look around the station before setting off for home. Thanks to all who turned out to keep me company. Let’s hope this weather is a sign of the summer to come.
