Round Norfolk Epic Cycle Event

Starting and finishing at Great Yarmouth Racecourse, the route heads south out of Great Yarmouth before swinging south westerly towards Beccles. After Beccles, you will be heading west towards your first feed-zone at South Lopham, on leaving the 'breakfast' feed-zone you will continue riding along the southern border of Norfolk passing through Thetford, Brandon and out into the fens where you will find your lunch stop at Three Holes. On leaving here, you head north to King's Lynn.

After King's Lynn you start to pick up the coast road and you will soon arrive at your next feed-zone at Thornham. From here it is now all coastal road to Overstand. Keep your eyes peeled as you will be passing beautiful countryside and unspoilt sea views. Once at Overstand your last feed zone, It's now the last push.

The hills start to level out, but the views are just as good.  This is the shortest leg so you will be soon back at Great Yarmouth where you will receive a hero’s welcome and your epic finishers medal.

At the end of the event, there will be a selection of caterers and a great atmosphere where friends and family are invited to help you celebrate your epic ride.

There will be 4 feed zones around the course at approximately 40-45 miles apart.

• Feed-zone 1 – South Lopham 43.5 miles
  Breakfast items such as croissants/brioches, etc.
• Feed-zone 2 – Three Holes 92 miles
  Lunch stop, consisting of sandwiches, crisps, flapjack and fruit.
• Feed-zone 3 – Thornham 132 miles
  Coffee and cake stop
• Feed-zone 4 – Overstrand 168 miles
  Savoury items as you will most probably have had enough of sweet treats and will be craving some salt.
  
  
  

On the event morning, you will be issued a drawstring bag. This will serve as your change of clothing bag and nutrition bag. You can fill this bag with whatever you want. It will be taken to the 2nd feed-zone at Outwell and once all riders have passed through will be taken back to Gt. Yarmouth, ready for collection at the finish. This bag has served riders well in the past as they have been able to change their cycling kit, take off layers, top up their suntan cream and chamois cream and take their favourite nutrition to carry on the remainder of their ride.

On arrival at the finish, you receive a hero's welcome and be awarded your bespoke premium medal. There will be a chance to pose for a celebratory photo and we will also have music and a selection of caterers on site providing food to help replenish your lost calories.
