Firstly, from one of your posts last year I believe we were born the same month. I am certainly guilty of making a lists of rides I want to do, not doing them and then adding others to the ever growing list.
About three weeks ago I got a small window of free time but the weather forecast was mixed and I usually abandon plans. This time I amended my it. My original idea was to get a train to Thetford and ride The Rebellion Way as a wild camping trip.
My new plan was to go to Norwich, sit out the heavy rain and start from there the next morning. I cycled to Kings Lynn on day 1 and on to Sheringham YHA on day 2 and back to Norwich for a late lunch.
I can't say I enjoyed the ride as my fitness levels are a bit down at the moment for a variety of reasons so I found the ride harder work than I should have plus my raincoat being put on and taken off every ten minutes was frustrating on day 2. But, I did get myself out there and ticked a nice ride off my to-do list. Now onto the next.
Great stuff Kevin, your route on the RW looks very similar to ours. But a week after you, I think we got the best of the weather. Keep at it. I am running an Ultra Marathon this weekend! Another tick on my bucket list I hope. Best wishes.
