Norfolk hill climbing ( yeah, that's right )

Possibly! Getting home at 2am and riding to work at 7am is inadvisable at best!

@thross I might be up for having a swing up there tomorrow eve if you fancy it

Sure! I finish work at 16.00, so was going to head out pretty soon after then - probably leave mine (Swansea Road) at 16.30?

@thross arg, there's the rub! I don't get out of work till 6, can't make it out until 6:30 :-/

So close!

Drat. Maybe we'll just have to wait until next week so the clocks have gone forward, as that'll start to free up the evenings a lot more?

Are Norwich rides always so difficult to arrange?

Yep. We all work at different times, and all have different riding habits. I think the biggest turnout I've ever witnessed was myself, @jakjakjak, @hudsoncjnr, and @laurenced all turning up fixed to a couple of the DH rides, and they were by chance! 4 people isn't a great pb :(

I'll ride whenever I'm home from work if someone is up for going out and I don't have plans!!

In the process of sorting out a road bike/funding some kit, will be up for rides* after work when that's sorted/it's lighter

*be warned, the 2.6mi round trip to work is the furthest I've cycled in years!

You should be the lead out man first time around then...

@hudsoncjnr I'm thinking of heading out around 18:30 / 19:00 if you fancy it. Might pop over to Ringland and check out that loop.

Ah cannae do tonight, off to see Alan Carr with Mrs H this eve

Up for it one eve next week mind?

Sure, let me know.

Maybe we should set up a whatsapp group?

Might be easier for last minute rides

That's if you all use Whatsapp of course :-)

Not on Whatsapp, but did the loop of my own volition earlier. Headwind sucked on the drag down Dereham Road, but the route itself was lovely. Only one real ramp up on the anti-clockwise route, but made for a welcome wind-free back straight. Setting sun breaking through the trees and the river running alongside was glorious.

I just got back from riding it. Mega windy out there, quite hard work into the headwind on fixed.

And fuck, it's dark in those woods.

What you guys really need is someone organised and dependable like me.

Feel free to add me to a whatsapp riding related group

@hudsoncjnr its just easier to get up to the minute notifications about riding, as opposed to trying to get onto here on your phone to see if anyones posted.

I'll set up a group and start adding whoever wants to come on if you post your numbers

Me: oh seven five seven six nine six two one one eight

could mix this up with the figure 8s around stoke holy cross/caister/arminghall... also undulating.

Still looking at starting these on the 12th? I might pop over there on Friday, to re-familiarise myself with it all.
