Thursday start from Debenham
Great Thursday ride lead by Peter, starting from Debenham Sports centre. Viv, Nick, Mike & Frank joined Peter on the ride which took in plenty of the lovely quiet lanes in the area with a Coffee & Cake / Snack stop at the excellent Wild Blackberry Café – Bromeswell where Pat was waiting for us. The weather was excellent and we were able to enjoy sitting outside.
The route to lunch took us through parts of Rendlesham & Tunstall Forest , via Blaxhall to Great Glenham. Quick minor detour to look at the historic 1 handed Church Clock – this dates back to 1770 when you obviously didn’t really need to know time down to the last minute! Lunch stop was at the Crown Inn. We were all impressed with the service, food and value – a great proper pub.
Our final leg of the ride was a pleasant run back to Debenham, skirting around Framlingham then via Earl Soham and back to our starting point.
A very pleasant and well planned 48 miles – thanks to Peter for organising and leading.
