Horsford 10m TT results 2/4/17

Posted on by Admin

A nice sunny afternoon greeted the 27 riders on the only run out on this course of the year (VC Norwich run a few more later in the year).  With last years’ outing on the course curtailed by the curse of the TTLs (*temporary traffic lights) it was good that a) the road was open and b) we didnt have to ride in winter gear.

The first club TT of the year proved good for a number of riders who got course PBs indicating they are ‘up for it’ this season.  Charlie was on song again (even with a bit of hayfever) and took the usual honors with Simon Warren (Pedal Revolution) and Matt Ratcliffe (Iceni Velo) not too far behind.  Best on handicap also with a PB was Mike Padfield. Fastest lady was Christine Cooke of Godric.

It was good to see club member Paul Bailey and club secretary David Carrier giving a helping hand.  Thanks to the marshals, starters and timekeepers for making the event happen.

On the way home the course was blocked with a three car pile up (no-one seriously hurt) which would have stopped the race if it had happened an hour or so earlier.

Due to TTLs near Holt (now just removed) tomorrows race will be at Thursford.

EDCA Winner Charlie Nurse

Posted on by Admin
The East District Cycling Association (EDCA) prize-giving awards ceremony for the 2016 season were held at Carbrooke village hall in late January.
North Norfolk Wheeler Charlie won awards for winning the EDCA ‘15’ and ‘25’ championships in 2016 and also included some awards for handicap improvement on standard.  Unfortunately for Charlie, he did not enter the EDCA ‘10’ or ‘50’ championships or he might have made it a clean sweep !  Charlie is getting his medals from Stewart Smith who is the CTT National Secretary for Competitions and Development.  He also has the fastest 15 mile time on record in the EDCA handbook with a 29:30.

NN Wheelers at the CC Breckland Open 10m TT 4/3/17

Posted on by Admin

On Saturday four club riders Charlie Nurse, Nigel Walsh, Andrew Knowles and Mike Padfield enjoyed Spring-like conditions in their first open event of the season.  Although not a particularly fast course it is an enjoyable course to ride from Hingham to Carbrooke and back, on nice smooth roads with little traffic.  There are a few undulations and it has a nice long straight and fast downhill section towards the end.  It is a surprise it is not used more often in open events.

Slowing down progress on the way out was a bit of a cross-headwind, but obviously helping on the way back.  Bruce Williams was propping up the traffic lights near the Carbrooke roundabout and encouraging us to bike a bit harder.  I was looking forward to his possible comeback this season, (maybe next year?).

The event was won by Lloyd Chapman  of Banks – C C Catford – Equipe in a new course record of 20.18 (he has a PB of 18 something..).  Charlie was third and fastest VET A with 21:22 indicating he is ready to better his times this year in possibly his last racing season.

Nigel was pleased with his 25:08 making him the fastest VET E rider on the day.  Mike did a 23:17, which was 30 seconds up on last year at the same course. Andrew Knowles did a 23:35.

A mention should be made of John Swindells who towed his TT bike behind a touring bike from home (North Walsham) and back.

CC Breckland were great hosts as usual with good organisation and cakes at the end.

Full results attached.

This year’s annual awards dinner will be held at The Links Country Park Hotel in West Runton, NR27 9QH on Saturday 21st January 2017 at 19:00. All are welcome – first and second claim members and their partners and any ‘friends’ of the club (e.g. people who have time trialled with us or joined us on our club rides who are not yet members). We have the usual function room at The Links this year so we will have more room to socialise than last year. I will also try to persuade them to put on a barrel of proper beer for us! Checkout the festive menu at http://www.links-hotel.co.uk/events/festive-christmas-menu/ and drop me an email (nigw@btinternet.com) with your selection as the hotel needs the orders in advance (I will keep these to remind you what you chose!). Could you also send me £22.95 per head by cheque (made payable to Nigel Walsh with your name on the back) to 9 Seacliff, Sheringham NR26 8BS, or ask for my account details when you email me your order and send the money by EBACS.
