2010-07-03 - London to Norwich Ride

Right, it's not looking as if I'll make this tomorrow--I'll be there if I manage not to be sensible. I'd absolutely love to do a long ride, but I don't think my arm is up for it.

I've been playing around with route options.

These two were proposed earlier in the thread.

That is probably fine most of the way, but the A1065 past RAF Lakenheath is really awful. Bad road surface and lots of HGV traffic--even on a Saturday. I went along that once last year.

This looks better.

I've just played around with a route based on the DD route up to Sudbury:

This is completely untested, though, and may only serve to confuse people at this stage. ;)
