🚴♂️ Cycle to the Seals
New Year’s Sunrise Ride | Norfolk Coast | 1st January
Start the year properly.
We’re kicking off the New Year with a winter coastal cycling adventure along the Norfolk coast. This is a free, open group ride starting at Great Yarmouth Beach, watching the first sunrise of the year, then cycling north along the coast to Horsey Gap to see the famous grey seals.
This is not a casual spin.
It’s cold, it’s windy, and it’s meant to be memorable.

🦭 Why Ride?
Because starting the year doing something difficult, outdoors, with good people, beats another resolution you’ll forget by February.
Also, if we can do this, we can probably do anything in
Cold. Coastal. Unforgettable.
