I used to go up to Thetford with my son, the singletrack is good fun. There are also some very tricky (for me) sandy tracks in Thetford as well (NCN30).<br /><br />The trouble is I prefer to cycle to them than drive, but I need thick tyres when I am there, but thin tyres to get there.<br /><br />I also dislike mud when I am on my hybrid to much like hard work. I do like cycling though honest.Jmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078208384599353066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2864052595440250048.post-12604537064425070082011-03-17T22:20:34.093+00:002011-03-17T22:20:34.093+00:00That's a great route. If you didn't know, ...That's a great route. If you didn't know, the loop from Fulbourn is the exact route published once in Mountain Bike Rider (MBR) magazine. It is the <i>only</i> one in this area.<br /><br />A couple of months ago I was re-checking it to see if it was suitable for some friends on hybrid bikes. Alas no, the section between Balsham and the Roman Road was an absolute quagmire. We lack the hills round here, but the mud and wind provide just as much resistance.Cottenham Cyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341822746581357047noreply@blogger.com
