On Saturday 20th June there will be a club ride to Hunstanton and back – SNCC to the Sea. We have done this route a number of times, and it’s a great day out! And we thought it would be great to make this one of many wonderful club rides.

The route is 153 miles, and whilst that may sound daunting to some, there are a number of longer club runs to help build up confidence and capability for longer distance/ endurance riding. This ride isn’t a race (although I know some can’t help themselves), it should be a nice day out on the bike!

The ride will set off from the Market Square at 600. There will be planned stops for brunch upon arrival in Hunstanton, 74 miles in, and suggested stopping on the way back at the Globe Inn in Upwell at 114 miles or in Chatteris at 127 miles.

So whilst it’s a long way and an early start, a 15mph average would take approx 10 hours cycling. With a couple of stops, getting back by 1800 can be achieved. With this being the second-longest day of the year, this gives plenty of time to get back.

It would be good to gauge interest as it would be good to do the ride into groups wishing to ride at different speeds, such as

• 13-14mph
• 15-16mph
• 17mph+
