May 14th 2013 saw only 13 brave riders on a cold, wet and blustery night. In fact a horrid night really but a chance to pick up points.

Some good times at lastnights IBC run TT with some riders completing there first TT for IBC. It was an almost the perfect night for this early in the season, clear and warm finally but a set of traffic lights near the normal finish meant the a slightly shorter course by about 0.3miles. Fewer riders than lastweek, I suspect a few still nursing sore legs and elbows from weekend excursions. Thanks to all marshals again.

Its felt like a late start to the Time trial season but the with the ICA eve 5′ and 10′ now well in swing with some notable performances from old and new faces it back to normal.

Good Friday Gt Yarmouth 10m Open was cold but bright and well attended with 100 starters.

The winner smashed the whole field, Jim Burgess doing a 21:58 no one else got into the 21′ on a cold and blustery day on the A143, Club performances included Ant Birt 10th overall with a 23:25, Andy kennedy 25th 24:44 and Colin Lown 26:10.

We sent out a questionnaire to all our members. The questions covered a range of topics from general questions about the club, it’s activities and what improvements we could make.

We had a good response to the questionnaire with over 50% of our members responding, and the committee are already looking at making changes based on those results and comments.  Keep an eye out here (or better still subscribe to our feed over there on the right hand side of the page) for more details about what we’re doing.

The results are available as a pdf download.
