Liz and I started our try at it last Saturday.
Rode from home to the castle and then on to Diss. Which turned out to be 40 miles.
It absolutely pissed it down for most of the way, but other than some nob in a Skoda aiming at a puddle and giving Liz a full on bath in muddy water it wasn’t too awful. There were a few nice off road grassy sections which were hard going as the ground was so sodden and the ford going into Diss was hella deep with a sandy bottom which took out my front brake and almost made Liz loose the front end. We’ll do some more as some point soon. But the main thing is Liz even with the bad bits said it was still fun and as it was Liz’s first longish ride in an age that’s pretty impressive.
Thankfully I’d driven and stashed the car in Diss first thing and then ridden home before we set off, which meant we didn’t have to take the train soaking wet.
Enjoy some very poor quality photos.
