Can anyone recommend any 20 - 40 mile routes based on
Wroxham? I understand that in Norfolk it is important to
wear a helmet and bib-shorts; is this correct?

And you'll only need two gears, into the wind and with the
wind as it is the flattest county in UK..

Which is obviously not to say that it is neither as flat as
a pancake nor flat as a billiard table.

Some u.r.c-ers believe that this makes it equivalent
to 'hilly'.

There are several circular rides you can take from Wroxham.

For example. Wroxham to Potter Heigham via Horning. On to
Acle, back to Norwich on the B1140 (turn right at the
junction before the big roundabout at Acle) Then as you
leave Panxworth (on the 1140) instead of taking the sharp
left bed you go across the junction and on to Salhouse where
you turn right at the roundabout and back to Wroxham. You
get some nice views on this ride.

I'm going to Wroxham soon, with the (non-cycling) family.
We pootle about in the car through the day, then they let
me out in the late afternoon/ evening for a bit of a
pedal, during which time I must eat, and more importantly,
drink. Can anyone recommend any 20 - 40 mile routes based
on Wroxham?

Head off South East and you'll get to Reedham. Roughly 15
miles. Try the Railway Tavern.

Not quite as far in the same district is Cantley with a pub
owned by Humpty Dumpty. I was only told about this two days
ago myself and can't recall the name but looks very
promising. [If you go - let me know what its like.]

Just on your doorstep is Woodfordes brewery at Woodbastwick
which has what I think is an awful pub attached selling
beer straight from the brewery - Fine if you like one day
old beer 🙁

* Cantley is the place with the huge sugar beet factory
visible for many miles. The pub is near the railway
station. (Possibly _everywhere_ in Cantley is near the
railway station.)

It seems my reputation preceeds me. Please note, I said
nothing about beer or pubs. However, that is just the sort
of info I need. Thanks.

Hmm. I tried to email you, removing fame & fortune, but it
bounced! I turned the "dot" into a dot, was that wrong?
Anyway, I would be grateful for routes, or just particulars
of any "do not miss" features in the area.
martinATbulmers4DOTfreeserveDOTcoDOTuk should do it. Thanks.
