About time for another one up north.
Please note this is a provisional date only until I have confirmed arrangements with Animal.
Open to all, but those with proper trail bikes please be aware it will be a gentle plod for those new to the lanes and those on less agile bikes, on easier lanes.
Meet @ Walkers Cafe, Mildenhall (Just off A11 "Fiveways" roundabout in the layby at the bottom of the A1065) ready for a 10:00 start.
There is a petrol station at the roundabout, so please fill up* before hand.
(*= You might want to consider just how full you need to be if you own a bike with a large tank. It all adds to the weight you have to balance/pick up when you don't. I use less than one 8l tank on the 450 doing this route)
I plan to pretty much stick to the normal marker system, so please take a look here:

Also PLEASE take a look at http://www.trf.org.uk/download.php?FILE=102 and note the TRF code of conduct.
I can't really tell you too much about the route/distance etc, as I plan to cuff it, according to how well people are doing.
What I can tell you is, being Suffolk/Norfolk there are no big/steep hills and the trail is generally well graded and all weather suitable.
There WILL however be the odd slippery/sandy/muddy patch, but if everyone looks out for each other they won't present anything more than a "challenge" to your mind. They aren't difficult and unless you get it WAY wrong and end up in the trees
, shouldn't be at all bike damaging if you do get it wrong.
That said, if people are finding it too easy, I can alter to suit.:burnout:
Suck it and see as they say. ;D
Above all, the day is yours to enjoy, but please, not at the expense of other countryside users.

If we're going into Norfolk do we need to bring wide fitting boots to accomodate the 6th toe
