EAR Rideout - Sunday 30th May 2010

You have a leader and a Tec at either end. At a junction the leader will wait for the next rider, that rider will wait at the junction until he spots the Tec.

They can then zoom through the group again if they wish.

Easy route to follow, ride at your own pace, give each other space and don't be an @rse. If you get pulled by Mr Plod you're on your own in case they start looking at everyone's bikes.

And please make sure your bike will make it without bits falling off.

If you don't want to mark, just make sure your not behind me.

Very funny Mr BBD, I see you've not lost your humour in your old age.

I'll think I will stay at the rear of the group,I've heard that many things fall from Seggons.

That's the idea of me leading. If anything falls off along the way I've got people behind to collect it for me.

I'll have my topbox on so i'll load in any bits that fall off

There has been a problem with the paint match on my tank so the guy is going to have to repaint it so there is now zero chance of me coming to this - sorry

you'll be missed Skipster

On a serious note, there's a few bits of the route where caution is required. Not trying to tell anyone how to ride, I should be the last person to do that, but don't say I didn't warn you.

On the A10 there's a place called Brandon Creek (I think) that has a bridge, bit of an up and down with direction changes either side. It's not bad but might catch you out a little if you're looking at the boats or the pub, stick to the speed limit (40 or 50mph) and you'll be fine.

After we turn off the A134 at Mundford the road is good, but once we turn towards Watton, somewhere between the junction and the church there are 2 very nasty bumps in the road, on a bend, almost like sleeping policemen, not signed at all.

The road between Watton and Norwich is a mixed bag, some good surface some bad, there are a few high hedges on some twisty bits which is like riding through a tunnel and watch out for Monkjacks and other wildlife.

Should all be fine though.

Thanks for the heads up BBD, it's much appreciated. I've never ventured into these areas so it's all new to me.
