As mentioned in the previous post about the Bawsey Bumps, "we would really really like" an alternative to the B1145 Bawsey Bumps which is currently the most-used route for cycling east.

A few local cyclists who went on the Cambridge Bike Party Christmas Lights Ride yesterday are doing a similar ride in King's Lynn on Thursday evening. Setting off from Lynnsport at 18:30 for a 5 mile ride round King's Lynn ending at the Ouse Booze on Ferry Lane for about 20:00 to coincide with the ...
Here are the churches our intrepid showerproof riders visited. I'm afraid they're out of order. How many can you name? I'll caption them and put them in order when I get a round too-it.

We interrupt our scheduled series to ask for your help! The traffic survey posts have appeared around town and we'd like to know where they really are. If you spot one, please could you submit the details on this form? They may look something like this: That one is an orange box tied and wired ...
One morning in October 2016, Darren Orpwood died after being hit by a white van while cycling towards Lynn over the B1145 Bawsey Bumps. On Friday, its driver Sam McDonald was convicted of causing death by dangerous driving following a trial at Norwich Crown Court. Sentencing will be on 20 July but the judge has ...
Well done! KLWNBUG's Bike Week programme is halfway through. On Saturday we had a "round town ramble" taking in some of the cycle-friendly country lanes that still survive inside the town's bypass, whereas last night "pedal and chat" headed off to enjoy the sunset among poppies and flowering thistles on West Winch Common, a 2½ ...
