Cyclist shows his feelings about Google Street View...

[Glow worm]

Whilst doing a spot of route planning for a ride out of Norwich tomorrow, I came across this fellow pictured on Google Street View at the bottom of Kett's Hill. Looks like Kett's spirit lives on! I wonder if it was anyone from here?!

Brilliant!
What a Kent.

Just been carved up by the camera car perhaps

Not me.
But that is not the shortest / best way back to Newmarket !

Perhaps I can give some local knowledge reference your route ?

Cheers for the offer. I'm cheating though really (apart from a 15 mile ride to Ely station from home) I'm going by train to Norwich, then have a site visit in the Salhouse/ Woodbastwick area. I was contemplating riding up Mousehold Heath but the road looks narrow and busy, so I thought Kett's Hill, and finger waving cyclists the better option - is that a good call?- it's a while since I've been in that part of town.

They are both busy roads. I would go Mousehold Heath, it is the prettier option and it brings you on to Sallhouse Road. If you are going to the Fur and Feather, it is nicer to cycle through Salhouse rather then staying on the main road.

Great stuff- I'll go that way. It's a work thing on a nature reserve so not sure if I'll have much time for the F&F/ brewery though it would be rude not to try to stop for a swift half at least!

Stop on the way in and forget about the rest ! Good luck, weather should be ok tomorrow.

i think the fashion police may take an interest - baggy shorts on a road bike (or the real plod, bike could be nicked)…
