Hello and welcome from North Suffolk ( Oulton Broad , Lowestoft ) .
I am at the other end of both Suffolk and bike ownership
. Next March i will be doing my 3 rd long distance ( by my standards ) off road ride in Spain , from Malaga to Salamanca , or if i still have the strength, on to Santiago de Compostela on MY new £16 bike ....well new to me ....i put a bid of £16 on a secondhand Sarazan mountain bike on E bay and won the bid
. I had to drive to near King Lynn to pick it up , but was pleasantly surprised at its condition ,......so, this bike , which i will ship out to malaga for £99 and then at the end of my ride i will give it away , will save my the cost of hiring a bike ( anywhere between 250 euros and 360 euros ) .
Good luck with your recovery .
