Yesterday the Unfit Family took part, with loads of others,
in the EDP Ride for Life in aid of East Anglian Children's
Hospices. The cycling club we belong to sponsors EACH and
helps organise the ride. It was glorious. We did the 33 mile
on-road circuit.
Started from Santon Downham in the Thetford Forest at just
after 8am, route took us up to Mundford, past the Iceni
Brewery to Cockley Cley and the half-way house at
Beachamwell with its thatched roof church. There was a
refreshment stop with tea, coffee, water & home-made cakes.
Then on to Oxborough, down to Weeting, Brandon and back to
Santon Downham.
It was quite lovely. The day was *warm* but the light cloud
cover stopped it from being too hot. Hardly any wind, so it
was ideal cycling conditions. The morning dappled sunshine
through the forest was just the thing to raise the spirits
at the start of the ride. Getting out on to quiet country
lanes, lined with hedgerows full of hawthorn in blossom gave
a truly wondrous scent to the air for much of the ride.
Norfolk is quiet beautiful at this time of year and is
perfect cycling country.
Our good deed for the day was to sort out the saddle on the
MTB of a guy having trouble and in pain as a result of said
saddle being incorrectly set for him. The second half of his
ride was more comfortable than the first, once Vernon had
used a spanner from my toolkit to sort out the problem.
At the start Nathan sped off away from his slow parents, but
we met at the halfway point to keep him stocked up with
supplies of cake. Once he was refilled, he sped off again
and finished quite a bit before his mum & dad. At the end he
was refuelled by a large portion of black cherry ripple ice
cream and a chocolate flake...
It would have been good to do a second lap, so to speak, but
as Nathan needed to get home to do the dreaded revision for
his GCSEs, we stuck to the one.
Today looks like another glorious day and I can't wait to
get out there on the bike again.
Cheers, helen s
