NMG Sportive Trophy update

NMG Sportive Trophy update

An early reminder this month to get your claims in, as the newsletter’s coming out a little early if I can pull my finger out and get it done before disappearing off on my hols to chalk up a couple of hundred miles to drag myself up the table.
A late claim for May miles from Nick Kidd has catapulted him up the rankings.
So has anyone been travelling the country, picking up the miles, and is ready to assail the lead of runaway mileage monster Jonathan Greenway or last year’s winner and current second wheel Sean Quarmby?
And if you haven’t joined in already, why not add yourself to the list by sending me a list of your sportive miles ridden so far this year.
Qualifying rides are organised sportives, reliabilities and audices, over a measured course, which you have had to enter, and non-competitive in nature.
Email claims to newseditor@vcnorwich.co.uk and let me do the rest.

Ketteringham Club TT – Cancelled

The Tour Series is coming to Norfolk (Aylsham) on 13th June (Hoorah!).
But this means some of the key club officials have been “called up to serve”. If our short FB survey is anything to go by we will also be short of the competitors we need to make a successful club TT at Ketteringham on the same night. We have therefore decided reluctantly to cancel the event, and despite a desire to reschedule, this is not an option with an already bulging EDCA calendar. (Boo!)
Sorry folks, but it’s not long before VCN’s next club TT date at Horsford.

NMG Sportive Trophy – time to stake your May claims

There’s a whole bunch of people with at least 170 miles to claim so far in May, what with the Cycle Swarm and the Boadicca. And … where are the women? OK so there’s little more than pride at stake if you don’t come top but still …

So, mileage claims to me, Bob Carter, at newseditor@vcnorwich.co.uk if you’ve ridden an organised, measured, non-competitive event in your club kit. And if you’ve been accumulating miles but haven’t put yourself on the table now’s the time to put in a claim. Can’t wait to see how it all changes once all those claims are in.

And you get no extra for being clipped by a car driven by a clueless Tweeter!Screen shot 2013-05-23 at 19.12.15

VCN Club “10” – Morley -16th May

First the good news… A blustery evening and cold weather (again) didn’t deter an excellent turn out for our first club “10”, 24 VCN riders welcomed 8 guests for a field of 32, including some novices and a very good showing from the women.  A huge thank you to all our volunteers who turned up to marshal, time keep and provide teas and cakes to everyone. Also a big thank you to all the competitors for excellent conduct out on the road, and some very good times considering the conditions.

Now the not so good news… Please keep an eye on the website as we may have to change our plans for the next club “10” which now clashes with the Tour Series in Aylsham.

Put the Roll(er)s away Parker …

The Rollerdrome racing this Thursday night has been cancelled.
Our club event was to be part of a series aimed to create an inter-club roller racing championship for the first time in over 20 years – but not enough clubs signed up this time.
