Peddars Way Pedallers‏

A number of Wheelers enjoyed the Peddars Way Pedal on Sunday (Jan 31), a rough-ride enduro-type event, starting from the World Horse Welfare venue at Snetterton.

Ken Jolliffe and Darryl Glover organised the event under joint CTC and Norwich ABC banners, and excellent it was. There were a multitude of distances to chose from, the route comprising a 44 mile loop, but with various cut-offs to suit all abilities and ‘leisure-pass’ durations. A great deal of the route was off-road, using a mixture of bridle-ways, RUPPS, ‘whites’ and official cycleways, including long parts of the Peddars Way itself. Conditions were surprisingly icy, and the ruts like concrete, as one of our number was to find out the hard way. Our contingent was made up of Richard and Robin Lines, Becca Asquith, Mike Stowe and his two sons, Adi Grimwood, Dr Tom (Southorn) and Barry Denny, with friends and prospective second claimers including Richards Emmerson and Muchmore.
