Just to confirm I’m not leading any ride this evening (Tuesday 29th January) with the various weather warnings today/tomorrow in place. If you’re commuting via bike especially tomorrow morning take care out there, Mark

I will lead the club ride of approx 40 miles on Sunday 27th January departing Hethersett Social Club at 09.00am.
Unfortunately the forecasters are predicting continuous heavy rain and very strong N.W wind so we will depart for the cafe at Yaxham Waters via Wymondham, Hingham and Shipdham and return with a tail wind via Brandon Parva and Barnham Broom.
All Members and Guests are welcome but please remember Helmets are compulsory plus spare tube, pump and money for the cafe sto...p.
I look forward to seeing as many members as possible on Sunday, if you're attending as a guest rider please let us know in advance that you'll be joining us.
