Hi, I'm looking to go to Thetford for a ride tomorrow, never been before.
I have a problem with my bike though - it needs a new middle chainring and front mech needs adjusting. Is this sort of service offered by Bike Art, or are they strictly sales/hire? If i get down there early do you think they will sort me out?
Thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚

I rode the trails in Thetford last year and had a great time.

The bike shop looks to be pretty good so you should be ok - it's a pretty falt, pedally (real word?) route though; all middle ring type of stuff I'm afraid!

Flows nicely - red has a few "features" near the start that caught a few folks out (in a get me an ambulance please sort of way) and the black is a hoot.

You'll have a great day (and I'm more than a touch jealous!)

P.S. - The steak pasties in the cafe are superb...

I've not been in a while but last time was good but not very challenging, flat but what they have has been made the best of.

Just big ring it, nothing too challenging by way of climbing and its more fun when taken at speed (apparantly ๐Ÿ˜ณ )
