VC Baracchi riders enjoy club run in mild weather

Velo Club Baracchi riders took advantage of a mild weekend to enjoy a club run to Dunwich and back.

It was a well-attended ride and all the better for the dry roads and unseasonal warmth.

Three riders chose not to go the full distance but everyone made it to Halesworth before the ride separated.

The ten riders at Dunwich were able to sit outside at the café for coffee and cake and three riders on the shorter route stopped for refreshments at Posh Pigs in Ellough.

John Thompson, as he often does, took a ride of his ow which this time involved putting the finishing touches to his new audax event.

First, he rode to Lound village hall, which is to be the HQ, and switched on his Garmin. He then road through Bradwell, Gt. Yarmouth and Caister, turning into the lanes through Mautby and Stokesby to Acle, then South Walsham, Ranworth, Salhouse, Wroxham/Hoveton to Coltishall, where he had a light lunch in the cafe that will be the first control.

Thompson then rode home direct via Norwich – around 67 miles in all.
