| Launde. The word to strike fear into any whose post-café form is not great. With it's 18% gradient straight from the stop, it is not to be taken lightly, but it is a lovely place to stop in any weather, so we do it anyway! This route approaches from the East after rolling around the valley, through Wing and then heading to Braunston. It's not so long at 60km, with Launde coming up after 40km, so fine for a winter ride.

This should be on every RFW rider's bucket list, a ride to the seaside and back in a day. It's obviously a big day, with over 282km/175ml covered. A lot is flat, but beware the headwind on the return... This is pretty much the most direct route, avoiding major roads the vast majority of the time. Target an early start, with fish and chips for lunch in Hunstanton and plenty of new roads. Take some lights in case of delays. 
The challenge to us is to follow this boundary (as best as the roads/tracks allow). This gives a ride of about 150 Km/90 miles, including a bit of gravel along the Brampton Valley.
Here's a link to a Strava route for you to follow. If you prefer you can break the route near Islip Furnaces and head back via Grafton Underwood.
