Hi from West Norfolk

[gixerlass]

Thanks, yeah Norfolkian or Flatlander is preferable, lol.

Hmm the SV is pretty good on fuel....at times

I bet you take your SV out to the airbase, and reenact that scene from Top Gun where Tom Cruise races the Tomcats down the runway on his GPZ900. I bet you even have the Kenny Loggins theme tune playing on your ipod. Go on admit it, you know you want too.

 

[gixerlass]

will admit that im a tad too young to know who Kenny Loggins is let alone have him on my ipod

 

[Blue Steel]

Well I guess I asked for that! Somebody old told me that Kenny Loggins was the chappy who did the song thingy that accompanied Tom during his Tomcat racing antics.

Apparently.

Hello and welcome to the forum

 

[Glow worm]

Welcome from another E Anglain! I often cycle through your neck of the woods on my way to the Wells area (well, Barton Bendish through Narborough and on to West Acre). A fine part of the world.

Hi from Norwich.

The Norwich 50/100 is at the end of May if you need a ride sooner than September!

we have adopted the casual, and social treasure hunt on your bicycle type of Alleycat.

Loads of fun, and individuals will often team up to help with navigation and clue solving.

Hi and .

I was in West Norfolk last weekend (Thurs - Sun). At Searles, Hunstanton. Popped into Fatbirds to get some brake cables. They've got a few bargains in their sale room if you're passing.

 

[gixerlass]

Us Flatlanders are everywhere, lol

Gareth that sounds cool, Whats the setup?

 

[Gareth]

We meet outside the Forum on Millennium Plain in Norwich at 7.15pm on the last Wednesday of every month.
I hand out a sheet with a set of clues, tasks to complete and the location of the checkpoints. All the cyclists depart and the first one to arrive with a correctly completed sheet at Jurnets Bar is the winner.

You would probably get a better idea of our style of AlleyCat if you visit our facebook page ..... Just type in Norwich AlleyCat into the FB search bar ....... I have about 100 photos of previous clues posted up there. Alternatively please visit the following link: http://overthegate.myfreeforum.org/about24920

If you would like to join in, but are unsure about navigating in Norwich, may I suggest that you team up with some of our regulars.... we have several ladies pairs/teams participate, including my partner; Lois and a couple of her friends (I always have the original set of clues password protected on my laptop to prevent Lois cheating by having a sneaky peek), and a group of ladies of various ages from the UEA and NUCA, who always welcome newbies to join them for the Alleycat.

We are open to all ages and abilities, and have had entrants from 16-67 years old take part, a young student in her electric assist wheel chair, a young couple on a tandem towing a toddler in a trailer, the usual mix of students from the UEA & NUCA having a cheap night out, older cyclist out to enjoy exploring the city on their bicycles, and a couple of middle aged lycra clad wannabes.

We have taken the social rather than the outright competitive approach, and everyone has a great time which is not complete unless I have been called a devious B******* more than once.

Free car parking is available for the evening at Wensum Lodge College (Jurnets is the SU bar there) on King Street, and it is about 1/2 mile ride to the Forum from there.
