The Annual Yaxley Riders Hunstanton Ride East Anglia by MuddyGoose - July 16, 2021July 16, 20210 Many, if not all cycling clubs and groups have their key rides of the year. It may be a specific much loved route, it may be a particular event like a reliability ride, a particular TT or hill climb or something on a certain weekend or day of the year. For many who have recently joined the club or group these rides can often become rite of passage. Rides that will be talked about throughout the year on other rides. The journeyman riders may even speak of 'the time we had gale force winds and driving rain all the way home' or 'the inaugural year when there was only 3 of us' and such like. Well for any
A road trip to Sheringham – #200mileweekend East Anglia by MuddyGoose - March 17, 20170 What could be nicer than a leisurely ride to the seaside through the Norfolk countryside with a couple of coffee/lunch stops along the way, with friends! Stop over with fish & chips for tea, a couple of local ales in a nearby pub and then return back the following day. That was the plan. Four of us, road bikes, 100 miles each way. Tough enough to be a challenge but nothing beyond our ability that's for sure. 1095
Norfolk 250 – The big one is in the bag! East Anglia by MuddyGoose - July 11, 2016January 7, 20172 With 160 miles as my previous biggest ride, 250 was quite a significant jump up. But I was confident that I could do it, even if it meant waking at 2:05 in the morning! So off went the alarm and up I jumped surprisingly awake and definitely ready for the day ahead. I don't know quite how I managed to be so sprightly at that time in the morning but it was a really good start. 824
Hunstanton Fish & Chip Ride 2016 East Anglia by MuddyGoose - May 15, 20160 Back in February I wrote about the Yaxley Riders Reliability Trial, "One Year On – Reliability Trial 2016". It was my first repeat event and I felt rather pleased with my progress. The Hunstanton Fish & Chip ride was my next 'one year on' repeat ride and again, it went well! 682
Longest Ride Yet; 150 mile loop for Fish & Chips East Anglia by MuddyGoose - May 1, 20155 Take away Fish & Chips is a big tradition here in the UK and everybody has their preferred Fish & Chip Shop, but even so cycling a 150 mile round trip would generally be considered a little over the top! But that's exactly what we did on Sunday with a journey that took us from Peterborough to Hunstanton and back. 302
