Thetford meet - Sunday 6th March & Aftermath

[REKIBorter]

Short notice, apologies, but as CK is off to the frozen north again soon we thought we should have get-together. This Sunday, 6th March.

Usual spot for 10:30am

Location:
Brandon Country Park Visitor Centre
Bury Road

Suffolk
IP27 0SU

Details:
Parking is Pay & Display, £2, extra parking available in the Orchard car park behind the old peoples home. There is a very good cafe - opens at 10:00am for the early arrivals - that sells tea / coffee & cakes also hot meals. We usually ride for a couple of hours in the morning then stop for lunch and then head out for a couple more hours afterwards.

If you are worried about not being fit enough to come along it is not a problem, we have riders of all abilities turn up, from overweight '40+' blokes like me to XC race whipetts. No one is ever left behind. Thetford Forest has a mixture of fire road and twisty singletrack, the conditions are generally very good this time of year and the trails only become sticky after days of heavy rain. Looking forward to seeing you all. Retro bikes not compulsary if you only have a modern bike to ride. Any questions just send me a pm.
