Ride North Norfolk 2023

On the day places available for all distances

This popular community organised cycle event is back on Sunday the 27th  of August. The cycle ride is a supported non-competitive ride with the routes clearly marked, emergency back-up and feed stations around the routes. You can enter through the Active Fakenham website or through British Cycling.

 

Organiser, Richard Crook said, “The ride has been popular with locals and visitors of all ages and cycling abilities. This year routes range through 15, 25, 36, 51, 64 (100km) and 102 miles. We are aware of the cost of living crisis and we are proud that we have been able to maintain the low cost of entry and have never put up the cost of entry. Most rides are now commercial ventures whereas ours is still a community run event with many volunteers and local groups supporting us.

  • easy to follow signage on all routes
  • free drinks and nutrition, including our popular homemade flapjack
  • free photos
  • a trophy/medal when you finish
