Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100
Many of you have entered (and been accepted) for the Prudential Ride London – Surrey 100.
Almost as many have entered and then had their entries returned.
British Cycling is now offering another opportunity to those disappointed to gain entry without going down the “sponsorship” route… as part of a club team. So who fancies getting a VCN team (or two) together to try and get some more red and black shirts on the start line in London?
Details are in the club email sent out this week… but we need to hurry, entries close on 14th April. So if you are a both a VCN and BC member and are interested put your name on the posting on the club facebook page or email me at chairman@vcnorwich.co.uk I intend to register VCN’s interests before the weekend.

CLUB Curry Night. Tuesday 14th May.
WHERE Spice of India, Horsford.
WHEN 7:30pm Tuesday 14th May 2013
Matt Gates is in the process of organising an evening for club members and partners to get together mid week. Hopefully the cold weather will have abated by then and you’ll be able to wear spring apparel to tuck into mouth watering Indian cuisine. We are looking to seat 30+ to make it a viable event, cost will depend on numbers.
Come along, and meet your fellow VCNers in a non-riding/cake stop social environment.
If you are interested, please make contact through the VCN Facebook site or by emailing Matt direct at mjg1164@gmail.com

Smart moves
Well done to Mark and Jen Smart for their all-conquering race day at the Norwich Cycling Academy Spring Racing League Championship.
They go into round 3 and 4 in a month’s time after winning both rounds on a day when most of us parted the curtains and thought: ‘sod that,’ as the wind blew rain and snow around the county.
The presentations were made by VC Norwich honorary member Vicky Williamson who brought along her shiny new bronze medal from the world championships.
Mark thought the words they’d never hear in their household would be: “Have you finished shaving your legs as I need to do mine?”
How about: “Is this your yellow jersey or is it mine?”

Spinning In The Rain
Congratulations to the brave VCNers who turned out for the first of the Elveden Race Series in the bucketing rain on Saturday morning.
Sadly a big crash in the bunch sprint accounted for some of the club’s best hopes, leaving Simon Lomax sporting a shiner and Owen Marsden recovering in the ambulance.
Mark Smart obviously treated the day as a warm-up for the Norwich Cycling Academy races the next day and among the 3rd Cat riders VCN’s Dale Johnston came in sixth with the winner being our former racer Dieter Rowe riding for Strada Sport.
In the women’s race the VCN trio of of Lou Marsden, Jen Smart and Erica Howe were well up at the finish.
