VCN Newsletter-Jun 2014

On a perfect Spring evening, 26 riders (where was everyone else?) took the opportunity to participate in our first Club 10 of 2014 at Besthorpe.  Congratulations to Andrew Bean of Wisbech Wheelers (studying at UEA) who won with an amazing 21.53.

Thank you to all the riders who supported this event and, as always, to the many members of VC Norwich who once again gave up their time to promote the TT. (Sean Quarmby, Sally Withey, Ian Doe, Sophie Doe, Matt Gates, Clive Rayner, Nick Kidd, Alan Bond, Desmond Matthews, Christine Stronge, George Stronge, Will Bamber.)

Next VCN Club 10………….  7pm Thursday 12th June 2014 @ Ketteringham

Rob Stronge

Congratulations to Matthew Smith of Team Velovelocity who won the event and beat Ian Cammish’s winning time from 2013. There were a total of 21 improvements to LTS times as well as 3 riders who had never ridden a 25 before which meant a lot of happy faces afterwards. The tandem pairing of Glenn Taylor and Mark Arnold put in a phenomenal performance to stop the clock in 46:58 – just shy of 32 mph average.

Thank you to everyone for supporting the event and for riding safely.  Thank you also to the timekeepers and members of VC Norwich, without whom the event would not have run smoothly.

We hope to see everyone again later in 2014 at the VC Norwich August Bank Holiday 10 and don’t forget our other club TT’s as detailed on our Calendar page here on the website.

VCN Newsletter-May 2014

The biggest newsletter for years … click on the link to get the full crystal clear version instead of the fuzzy pdf from your email inbox.

Jonathan Greenway is riding away the title with less than half the year gone already. David Whitehead’s sticking in second with Carl Loveday in third despite no miles claimed (yet) but Carl Pentney’s moved up two places with his Old Squit efforts. Bob Carter (that’s me) lifts himself as, apparently, the only VCN participant in the Strumpy Dash. Plus I’ve awarded myself 74 miles for that event having ridden a much better, but longer, route than the organisers had prepared. I may take that back …

Last minute mileage claims to me newseditor@vcnorwich.co.uk please.

Now that the days are getting longer, and the weather getting milder, many are keen to get out again on the VCN evening rides.

All three VCN Evening Rides will start just after Easter, so that we have sufficient light to get everyone back into Norwich before dark.

1.  Tuesday Evening Training Ride:  Meet by Trowse/County Hall roundabout for 6:30pm prompt.  Open to other clubs.  Usually two groups comprising a very fast “Chaingang” and a fast training ride.  Only experienced group riders should attend.  Start 22nd April

2.  Wednesday Evening Club Ride:  Meet at the green at Cringleford to leave at 6.30 pm.    A steady ride at the pace of the slowest rider.  No one will be left behind.  All Club Members welcome.   Start 23rd April.

3.  Thursday Evening Training Ride:  Meet at the green at Cringleford to leave at 6.30 pm.   A fast training ride.  Only experienced group riders should attend.  Sometimes splits into 2 groups.  Start24th April.
