Yesterday ,restricted byways, bridleways , canal views and no road bridges to nowhere....A lot of livestock to dodge on the common and about 4000 geese that could be heard from miles away. Badger ? sets.
60 odd miles all bar maybe a mile getting to the first bit done off road , legs are a bit tight this morning ... :icon_wink:

Yesterday was a trip to Thetford Forest and a 10.5 mile loop around the blue route. The forest is starting to going through the autumn colours and was looking lovely. Shame I didn't have time to try the red route but the weather wasn't the best so gave it a miss.

Today, I thought about going back to Thetford Forest to try the red route but decided to spend the 45min driving time to wash the car - first time it's been washed since the local hosepipe ban came in c. April... It was pretty disgusting  :-x. After that, decided to do a quick loop near where I'm staying, so covered 12 miles on local lanes. Would have been better on the road bike, but the hardtail did well. Came across a memorial to the 447th Bomb Group based at Rattlesden Airfield so stopped for a quick photo.

Should any of youz cyclistz typz out there fancy a trip over to the Isle of Man, this looks interesting..
I’m definitely not a serious cyclist but enjoyed riding the End2End bike event there some years ago, it was well organised and the Route took in some of the great IOM scenery, (then I went to the pub and took in some of their great Bushys beer 🍺).

The Bushys beer bit sounds especially good after a good ride  ... :thumb:

Just be careful if you’re heading out for a nice quiet ride in the countryside..!

Lucky cyclist. If that had been a motorbike I'm not sure the rider would've been missed :shock:

Yeah, you’re not wrong.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter how well you’re riding, you’ll still get the pain.
