Hello from Swaffham Bulbeck, Cambs

[Glow worm]

Hi all,
I found this site a while ago and it looks really interesting/ useful with some very knowledgebale folks, so I finally thought I'd join the club. I'm a commuting cyclist mainly although do a few weekend/ evening rides too. I live in Swaffham Bulbeck, a small village 5 miles west of Newmarket, (where the chalk hills of Suffolk, meet Cambridgeshire's flat Fenland). My daily commute is about 20 miles (sorry I just can't do KMs) to Cambridge and back. Also, I often do the cracking ride (along Route 11) to Ely, then train to King's Lynn then the 25 miles to the Wells area to visit parents and potter about on Norfolk's fine coast (Wells / Holkham mainly).
My average speed is normally only around 10mph so as I say- I take great pleasure in travelling slow and enjoying the ride- life's way too fast so the bike, to which I'm hoplessly hooked, is a great way of slowing things down. Looking forward to some good banter with you folks so long as you don't mind being joined by a slow East Anglian!
Regards to all,
Giles

Hello © User3143
And welcome to the site...

Welcome.

I'm from just North of Ely.

A few of us rode through Swaffham Bulbeck yesterday on a ride from Cambridge to Ely & back.

I also prefer the North Norfolk area for cycling rather than the boring bits up to Kings Lynn.

Cheers lads

Thanks for the welcome fellas. John, I saw few of you folks on Sunday as I was pootling along between Bulbeck and Bottisham.
Had to go to Bedford for work today so a day off the bike- doom. Back in the saddle tomorrow though and hopefully, if Mrs Glow worm will allow, I'm back in Norfolk via Lynn station on Friday- can't wait.
Cheers,
Giles.

from North Cambs. Yup, the North Norfolk coast and inland is nice for cycling. Not everyone cycles at the speed of light here. We look forward to many illuminating posts from you G worm .
