Hey Madpensioner

I'm doing the Norwich 100 next week as well. I have study the course on Google Earth and our steepest climb is just coming out of Runton / West Runton on the coast road with 7 to 9% climb for about a mile. there is also some climbs about 5% on the way to Stiff Key. the rest pretty flat with 1 - 4% climbs in places

Hi all, take a look at the Norwich 100 thread in the Road Rides, Audax section.

I'll certainly look out for the Madpensioner, although I'm starting at 7:30 so I may not catch you

I'm No.761

stuwie, that's not been the route since 2008 as the stop is at Sheringham High School rather than Felbrigg Hall.

The longest climb is from Kelling to the Muckleborough collection as you enter Weybourne. The A149 is also more rolling than mapmyride makes it out to be.
