Welcome To Norwich, A Fine City {nvs}

Oh, and, Bethel.

Did you hear they left a hatch open and an elderly gentleman fell through into the cellar and was quite badly hurt?

When was that?

February:

Written by Kate - she's a keen cyclist. And bloody fast, too, by all accounts.

Pedal Rev = great service one day, then a rude and frosty reception the next. Never know what you're going to get.

Couldn't agree more with this comment. I've had shit service to the point of not wanting to go back. Only to go back (ha ha) and be treated really well.

Welcome to Norwich! The Land of Generally Shite Bike Shops!

Apart from Specialised who are right good.

And Borwells who do good wheel builds.

Here here! The two only "true road" bike shops!

Does anybody know of a decent 20ish mile route? My post-Christmas fitness is appaling and I want to start doing 20 miles maybe 4 mornings p/w.

17 miles to Dereham 35 round trip. Lovely route not busy at all. Till you reach the city, which isn't too bad, let me know if your interested and ill plonk the route on here.

I usually do this loop through Woodbastwick via Plumstead Rd, coming back via Salhouse Rd.

It's mapped at 17ish miles but can easily be tweaked into 20.

Anything still happening here, anyone planning to do the alleycat on the 25th?

Not a great deal of activity really, bu we do need to build up some new hype. I am out for 4 weeks but will be back reet soon

Seen you riding to work Mark you didn't look too happy.

He was on his way to work...

I love work (cough)

Well the weather isnt condusive to much bike action at the moment!

Hi all, looking forward to moving to Norwich at the end of September to do a Masters course and meeting some of you. The alleycats and friday night rides look exciting! Hoping to play some polo as well, but the scene doesn't appear to be very big currently.

By way of introduction, here are my bikes (although the ratty Viscount is getting a thorough re-build and paint job at the moment)

Are there any forums, facebook groups etc outside of this one that I should know about?

Stu

Hi guy, I have just moved from Bristol back to near Norwich, would love to meet up with some riders etc for some rides. Same situation as Stu F^^^ really, any groups etc? If your spotting around Norwich then I am on the silver Cannondale Capo with Drops and Hoods or the Bianchi Pista Concept with bullhorns.

Hope to see you guys around!
Cheers

Oh hi. I don't actually have a fixed gear (yet, who knows) but I have a soft spot for lugged frames and there are some pretty bicycles in Norwich. Used to ride a blue Concorde Colombo but have retired it in favour of a Roadrat for the time being. So, um, yes.

Not really sure where to put this so I'll put it here. UEA Photography Society is having an exhibition/launch party in the Underbelly of the Rumsey Wells, starting on May 31st.

Just spreading the word. Take a look if you're interested.

I'll be there, as long as you come to my degree show around the same date!
