The ACME peloton has formed. 09:15 start. I'll be aiming to get to Manningtree Station Buffet for breakfast around 08:00. Any other ACME riders on the A&S, other than those in the 09:15 group? No doubt many of the 'usual suspects' will be there too.
Sad news about the landlord of the Fox and Hounds at Weasenham - the Bell at Hempton (1st L shortly after joining the A1065 at Fakenham outskirts) is only just off the route. Currently closing at 10pm on Saturdays. Grey Sheep and I have already talked about a takeaway curry stop in Melton Constable (other outlets are available) as an alternative to Wells. This has worked out very well on our last two A&Ss. Breaking the ride up with a pub stop in Wells is another option, or Swaffham if we get a tailwind both ways! This is working out timings on the usual gentlemanly plan of around 24 hours for the event, aiming to arrive at a civilised hour for breakfast, back at the Station Buffet.
