VCN Hill Climb – 20th Oct results
A strong headwind on the main climb made the VCN Hill Climb even more of a 
challenge than it would have been normally and made sure the course record (set 45 years ago) remained safe for another year. Thanks to all who came and raced and supported and well done Sam Carter who just managed to pip Mark Farrow for first place. Same time different course next year. And maybe we’ll take Mark Smart’s suggestion to find the fastest freewheeler down the hill too!

EVENING RIDES FINISH
The VCN Evening Rides on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays have now come to an 
end, due to the nights drawing in so quickly and it not being possible to ensure that everyone gets back and home before dark.
This does not prevent people still meeting up to do their own evening rides, just that they won’t be run by the club.
Many thanks to all VCN members and our numerous friends from other clubs (plus the weather of course) for making these rides so enjoyable this year. They will start up again in April next year, and we will advertise the dates nearer the time.
What did you do in August? With not even a handful of sportive mileage claims in so far, I’ve moved up one, and so has Stuart Mason. Anyone planning an autumnal surge? Claims for sportive mileages to me at newseditor@vcnorwich.co.uk
Bob Carter
VCN would like to thank all those who participated our open “10” and would particularly like to thank the helpers who ensured the event ran smoothly and safely. Even the weather was kind (although late starters complained about the freshening first half headwind).
Fastest on the day with 20:12 was Team Velovelocity’s Jason Boutrell who also, with help from Scott Davidson and Geoff Frost, took the team prize. Tricia Goulden of West Suffolk Wheelers took the ladies prize in 23:49, and Declan Davis rode to an excellent 21:43 as fastest junior.
