Description
A circular route. Starting at Great Bromley VH, Essex and just crossing over the Norfolk border at the midway point, this ride is mainly on B roads and quiet A roads in Suffolk.
A chance to see some Xmas lights both tasteful and not!
Breakfast at start and hot food at the finish are included in the price. Plenty of parking at the village hall. Closest train stations are Wivenhoe or Manningtree but Sunday services can be restricted.
This will be my last year as organiser of this event, but hopefully it will continue as a Winter 200 under a different organiser.
