John Swanbury and Ali Banks on the VCB tandem recorded 22:22 (which matched Dennington’s solo ride) but were well beaten into second place by Martin and Kevin Baumber of Shaftesbury CC (20:11).

In the Godric CC open 10-mile time from Redenhall to Clays Roundabout and back on the A143 the VCB times were headed by Mark Saunders with 22:54 with Dennington on 23:05.

It was a tailwind on the first leg and a challenging return into the westerly.

Hayward took part in the EDCA 25-mile championship on the windy roads near Wisbech and recorded 59:02.  The organiser said it was not a particularly good day.  Matthew Senter of Team VeloVelocity won in 51:47 and Becky Murley was top lady in 1-00:20.

Wrinklies rides on Tuesdays and Fridays from Carlton Colville church at 9am have been well attended and there have been two groups, one for those riders wanting a faster ride than the others.

John Thompson rode about 74 miles, working on the planning of an audax route.  His ride included Browston, Gt Yarmouth Sea Palling, Hickling, Potter Heigham, Wroxham, Ranworth, South Walsham, Acle, Reedham Ferry and Thurlton, back to Lound, where his event will be based.
