Holmes cup win by Gt Yarmouth CC conceded by VC Baracchi

Velo Club Baracchi waved goodbye to the Holmes Cup for another year when the resurgent Gt Yarmouth CC turned out a mass of riders for the reliability trial.

Getting out and about before the reliability ride

Mike Rainton’s 100-mile charity ride, already reported on this site, was probably the longest Velo Club Baracchi ride in the week.

Extra! Mike almost joins the Red Arrows

Actually, the nearest Mike Rainton got to joining them was by taking part in the last leg of the coast-to-coast charity ride by RAF personnel in aid of the Jon Egging Trust and two other charities.

Gentry wins Keith Stephens Memorial Duathlon

As a complete contrast from last week end the Sunday weather was cold and very wet, but this did not deter all potential contestants in the Keith Stephens Memorial Duathlon.

Personal bests by Womack and Matthews to close the season

The last weekend of the time trials season, with stunning “scorchio” weather, turned out to be good for VC Baracchi members Chris Womack and Gary Matthews, who had saved the best till last.

Reliability trial date is October 23

Yes that's right - not the 16th as on the published programme.  GYCC have for some time been working on the basis it will be on 23rd!
