Not bad for a Monday

It was another one of those great ideas. Why not do a circular ride that takes in the Reedham Ferry? After a few postponements today was fixed as the day it should happen - so eastwards we peddled admiring the scenery and wildlife as we went.
Luckily the Ferry was back in operation after its winter maintenance break and before we could say "marsh harrier" we were in the Broads proper with lots of water and not so many roads. We were therefore forced to either build a boat or head home via central Norwich in order to cross back over the Rubicon. It was a good test of our country mouse mettle as we skirted the A47 and headed in to the City on the Thorpe Road. Note to the City Council - how about lovely walking and cycling paths that could run along both banks of both rivers? At one point we had to cut across a building plot on foot in the Broadland Business Park. A stark contrast to our unhassled glide along country lanes earlier in the day.
Obviously, we lived to tell the tale - although as I do not normally cycle 60 odd miles on a Monday I fear I may rust to a standstill like the poor old Tin Man.
Whilst cycling we covered the usual breadth of topics and wrestled with the problem of how to return Lesley and her bike from France on the back of Shaun's motorbike.

An idea...But possibly not the most comfortable.
