30/60 Mile Route
A beautiful 30 or 60 mile ride in Norfolk’s lovely countryside. Starting from The Forum and taking in the edge of the Broads, touching the coast on the 60, while the 30 mile loops inland taking in a stretch alongside the Bure Valley Railway, before reaching bucolic Ranworth, and then a triumphant return to food, drink and a medal at the Finish – Lower School by the Cathedral.

100 Mile Route
A classic, (and very beautiful), 100 mile ride around Norfolk. Starting from The Forum and taking in the edge of the Broads, Horsey Mill, the coast, (and some hills!), all the way to Cley, and Blakeney, then a new route through Holt to Blickling Hall before food, drink and a medal back at the Finish – Lower School by the Cathedral.
