Welcome to the forum
Wells-next-the-Sea
Since being a member of the club I have not been able to do the Wells ride, due to the day.
Following discussion with some others I am going to suggest an extended Saturday ride in early May to Wells.
Either the 2nd or 9th May.
Who else would be up for this and which would be the preferred date?
Lease can someone post a link to the route or a gpx file.
Thanks
Adam

Wells King's Lynn bit.

This ride will very much be a extension of the Saturday 9.30 club ride.
Pace 15/16mph with stops, to Wells for fish and chips, then to Kings Lynn for the train back.
Probable start time of 9.00am.

The plan for the ride was to be a extension of the normal Saturday club ride.
15-16mph. Good social company and not to leave me too far behind.
Would not be my place to stop anyone riding. If want to ride with us then need to match the pace and have suitable group riding skills.
Hope that helps

There's probably a rule about how many 'sample' rides you get before it becomes socially unacceptable NOT to become a paid-up member of CCA?
Is 9.00 not a bit of a late start? The three rides I've done all started at 8.00 and this one, at 15-16 mph, might be a tad slower.
Please don't rely on my Garmin skills either, just ask those who came on last years ride why!!!
Vic
its worth pointing out in a case like this that while riding with you, people will assume they are cca so they need to remember their actions reflect on the club. sounds like you've got a good group building, hope the weather's good.
I have Garmin, BUT this one has come dangerously close to being flung at a wall (!) on several occasions, so please don't rely on me/it as the sole navigator for a group. (It's an early theory, but it seems to work better with routes from BikeHike.co.uk and be less reliable with BikeMap or Mapmyride ... although of course, the problem might be nothing to do with that at all)
Now i have a reason to get back on the bike for the first time since November, though i might
need stabilisers !
How about non members visiting crumps butchers before the ride & donating a pie or a bottle or Duvel.
Thus saving Martin & Matt a few quid and the inconvenience of transporting the refreshments half way across Norfolk.
ps. paying membership today !
to lead it.
Maybe we can start getting a list together.
Start time on for 9.00am with 15-16ish pace.
Will stop when we need to, and get food/drink on route as needed.
As detailed earlier, that's for us.
Others can start and travel at different times, pace, even different dates if they wish.
I'm not going to "manage" a list of those riding.
Just open for those that want to ride, to be at the Tuns just before 9.00.
Cheers,
Dave.
Currently wind NNE
But dry
So still on for 9.00am on the 9th.
After yesterday, for me, its going to be a long day......
A long steady ride should be good for me (and if it isn't, I'll leave the group and catch a train home). I'll map the route into Bikehike (copying Martin's routes, as posted above) in the hope that my Garmin will be helpful this time. We definitely need other Garmins and/or paper maps too. Bring 2 full bottles and plenty of food ... lights are a vgd idea too, just in case something happens and you're late getting home
So who's coming on Adam's mission to Wells? Vic? Anyone else with Garmin? Jenny Honorary-Wells?
Do we have at least one known food stop on the way, something that sells human food?!
Can't wait...the weather isn't going to spoil this ride!
