サウスロファムでののおすすめライド

Excellent Sausage Rolls. Always worth a stop when passing.

The kitchen typically closes at hour before the cafe does so get here in plenty of time if you want to order food.

Very cyclist friendly with excellent food and drink.

4km long road through the heart of Thorpe Woodlands. Includes a 2.5km and a 1.25km straight, linked by a gentle curve, that are wide with a fairly even surface and sheltered from the wind by the trees: perfect for an interval session or a fast pace line.

Nice location opposite the village church. There are a few tables out front where you can sit with your bike.

Great coffee and a Bacon sandwich

Fantastic selection of food available

Super cafe!! Suitable for cyclists. The track is about 100 yards and fine to bike down. Unless you have 10k superbike

Great pub to stop off at on your way through. Friendly staff and locals. Stopped here twice on our cycling weekend in the area.

Well set up for the cycling crowds with proper saddle rail bike parking (no scratching your frame against a stand, or bending your spokes in a wheel holder). Only downside is needing to cross grass or gravel to reach the cafe. Fairly limited opening hours so best for a lunch stop.

Quite a lot of nice views in this area as the countryside tends to be high and open.

Generic bit of Norfolk country road. Nothing exceptional, and some fast traffic.

Excellent bike friendly cafe. Good food, friendly staff, nice outdoor seating and decent bike parking.

Freehouses are usually a good bet for a lunch stop. Convenient location, if by a bit of a busy road.

You might catch it, you might not. The van and trailer actually pulled up while I was cycling past! But I wouldn’t count on it for a planned stop.

Watch out for the cattle grids at each end of the heath road, they really rattle you if you hit them at speed!

Many local cafes only open at the end of the week and weekends so this can be a good bet for earlier or midweek.

Tucked away behind buildings and a high fence so relatively easy to miss despite its size if you’re coming from Buckenham.

Quite a grand church with elaborate stonework. There’s a cafe just to the north (Thu-Sat only) and a general store just to the south.

In a generally flat part of the world a view that goes further than the next hedgerow is a bit of a treat.
