• Had a good mini-trip this weekend. Colchester to Lowestoft then Lowestoft to Norwich across the broads.

    Originally planned to get breakfast in Ipswich so went through the centre which was a shit idea as it was really busy so I just rode through. Stopped at a great bakery in Aldeburgh for lunch then it was about 50/50 roads and gravel/logging dirt roads to Lowestoft. Some nice dirt tracks through RSPB Minsmere and across the river Blyth near Southwold. Checked in to a B&B in Lowestoft then got fish and chips and ate it on the beach while the sun set (really great clean sandy beach there, assumed it would be stones like Aldeburgh).

    Originally planned to follow the bure railway trail and head up towards Cromer but I have a family meal to be back for tonight and the forecast threatened thunderstorms so cut it a bit short and cut straight across the broads instead. I never think to take pictures when I'm riding and only took this one on my lunch stop while the lighting was pretty bad:
