Coronavirus update – 24th December 2020
The latest Government restrictions, which are effective from 26th December 2020, put Norfolk into Tier 4 covid restrictions. The effect of this on our club activities will be that all rides and meet-ups must be suspended until further notice. Whilst individuals can still take exercise outside with one other person, it would not be appropriate for the club to arrange meeting places for us to ride to and meet as a group.
Coronavirus update – 1st December 2020
The restrictions that come into force on 2nd December mean that Norfolk moves into Tier 2. Cafes, pubs, restaurants can open again but still with limitations. Sitting outside in groups of no more than 6 people should be fine but inside a café we will only be able to share a table with members of our own household. We will continue to try and select meeting places that also have an outside option for those who prefer not to go in a café at the moment or you might want to bring your own refreshments. With all of this in mind we have decided to reduce the number of rides, for this month at least, to just one per week, alternating between Saturday and Wednesday.
Please ensure that you bring a face covering with you to wear while inside cafes.
Because of the uncertain times at the moment, rides lists will be published monthly over the winter months. Any last minute changes to meeting venues will be notified on our website and our Facebook group.
Coronavirus update – 2nd November 2020
Following announcements by HM Government, we will be unlikely to be able to organise any meet-ups between Thursday 5th November and Wednesday 2nd December inclusive. In that period, riders will not be allowed to meet up with more than one other person from outside their household.
This means that the 11.00am meets at Reepham Station cafe on Tuesday 3rd November and at Piece of Cake, The River Rooms, Coltishall, NR 12 7DL on Wednesday 4th November will be the last until further notice.
We understand that some cafes will offer a take-away service during the lockdown.
Because of the uncertain times at the moment, future rides lists will be published monthly over the winter months, when gatherings are permitted. Any last minute changes to meeting venues will be notified on this website and our Facebook group.

Using E-Bikes on Club rides
In the last couple of years, several members have acquired e-bikes and are now using them on club rides. While this is welcomed, we should all bear in mind that using them in a group is not without problems. Because of their characteristics, they tend to be much quicker uphill than normal bicycles. If you are riding one, please try to keep the group in formation on hills, and if you need to overtake a slower ride, please do so with care and courtesy.
