Tour De Norfolk

[BUSHPIG]

Entry forms and information can be found here: http://www.travelcentre.nf/mountain_bike_championship.htm

For those considering going I would strongly reccomend it. I have been over to Norfolk twice now and have absolulely loved the place. If you do go over you must do the 5 course dinner the Island holds twice a week (I think). You are picked up from the resort and taken around to 5 different homes (usually) to enjoy different courses. A great way to meet other people.
Although if socialising isn't your thing I strongly reccommend the services club for meals. Large serves for a ridiculously low price. Cheap an delicious.

A few times per month a barge comes accross to drop off supplies; this is an increadible sight. Must see to believe.
cheers

Saw this in a MTB mag the other day. Seems pretty laid back, but I like the sound of it. Could be something very different to try my hand at! Im certainly considering it...

 

[Virage Vitesse]

As this is the first occassion this stage race has been run I guess no one can really say what its like. From reading the info on the above link it seems more like a travel agents package holliday with some mountain biking thrown in, rather than a serious MTB racers event. Thats not to say that it still wouldn't be an awesome 7 days spent in a place which is not your typical number 1 holiday destination. Anyone else have any thoughts on what kind of race this is going to be?
