2025 - Sunday, July 27th
HQ - 43rd Scout Group - Saxlingham Nethergate - NR15 1TE.
Thank you to the nearly 50 riders who took part in the Niceni and Biceni this year, with your support we raised £170 for the East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH). We hope to release a date for the 2026 editions early in the new year. But keep checking back, as we will be announcing a new 100km event to be held next March very soon.
43rd Scout Group - Saxlingham Nethergate - NR15 1TE
By train - it’s an 13.5km ride from Norwich railway station. which has regular services from all directions: 07:17 from Gt Yarmouth (arrives 07:50); 06:34 from Ely (arrives 07:41); 06:23 from Witham (arrives 07:52); 06:22 from Sheringham (arrives 07:19).
By car - it’s easily accessible from the A140 (with good national connections via the A11, A47), and coming from the east you can use the A146. There is plenty of parking at the Scout Hut, but overnight parking is not allowed.
The HQ will be open between 07:30 and 21:30. There are toilets, storage (insecure - leave belongings at your own risk), food & drink. If you have any dietary requirements, please contact the organiser!
You will receive a route sheet nearer the time as we have amended the routes slightly from 2023. Both routes are clockwise; the shorter route goes around south Norfolk, and the long route goes right up to the north Norfolk coast. We will also inform you of potential hazards.
No - the routes are advisory. You can choose your own roads if you like, as long as you tick off all the controls.
The revised route is being finalised, so we will share the control locations soon.
As with last year, we are also supporting the eBrevet app, so you can check-in with the app instead of having to collect receipts and figuring out our questions on the Brevet card.
Please note Audax UK still require riders to fill out their arrival times on their brevet cards to be checked against their Ebrevet submission on completion of the ride.
Please contact James, the organiser, if you are unable to make the start (or if you are running late) or if you are unable to finish the event.
We’ll do our best to assist you whilst you’re at the HQ, but don’t offer assistance when you’re out on the road. You should expect to be self-reliant, but you can always try to flag down another cyclist if you’re struggling. Audaxers are generally a friendly and helpful crowd! Entrants riders packs will advise the kind of things you may want to take on a longer distance ride.
The event is run under Audax UK regulations. You should familiarise yourself with Audax UK regulations, guidance, and advice (available in AUK publications, at https://www.audax.uk/ or on request from the organiser).
Please email James, the organiser – james@south.me.uk
