There's reasons I love where I live. This is maybe 5 mins from my house. Had a little wander down some lanes, then over the Horseshoe Pass while there's not crowds of people everywhere up there.

Thought I'd best have a 'big one' to 'get to know it better' so I headed off yesterday morning for a bit of a whopper ride.
Sorted a route out at home and plumbed it into Beeline;it was supposed to be circa 290 miles. Over the course of the day I realised I was going to run out of time to be back for dinner so I cut a few waypoints out and used a bit more dual carriageway to make up some time later in the day. But overall it was an immensely satisfying day with 263 miles covered
Started from home in South Essex and went through The Rodings to Finchingfield, through to Steeple Bumpstead and round Haverhill towards Mildenhall, where I stopped for some lunch:

Place was heaving with smelly bikers.
Then set off in a sort of triangular loop through Thetford Forest (I love it in there, don't know why because it's quite boring long roads without bends but it feels like being in a tunnel and has a sort of eerie but chilled vibe to it) before pinging back out onto the A11 for a short while before happening upon this place:

Then set off through the pretty little villages towards the East Coast of Suffolk and Covehithe which is about to fall into the sea:

Nice scenery and roads:

Real mixed bag of riding - some fast A road, some bumpy B road, some farm track, some dual carriageway to make up time. Sat at indicated 85 on a naked bike and it wasn't hellish (I'd not want to do it forever, but ~15 miles of it was alright and it's loads better at 70) and 'making progress' through the lanes with some choice overtakes - which this bike LOVES to do with just instant torque and shove - and a good mix of blatting it and relaxing on it taking a pootle.
Filled up end of my road at the start of the day and at the end of the day. 263 miles combined tankfuls and working out the MPG gives 51.2 . I'd have been lucky to get mid 30's on the KTM. |
