NCA regular Jason has had his beautiful Wilier Escape road bike stolen from his partners property in Trowse during the early hours of last Monday morning.
Jason has asked NCA members and firends to keep an eye out in case the thief is daft enough to try and sell it locally! It’s distinctive being black, red and white, having a XXL frame and Continental GP4000 tyres with shimano 105 spd pedals. Any help would be hugely appreciated. email us here at info@activatingcic.co.uk if you hear of anything…
can you spot yourself on some of our pictures from Sunday ? ?
Our first ever race meeting gave us some warm and cheerful racing on a bitterly cold Mothering Sunday. Our brave riders seemed to love their racing and many were racing for the very first time. Luckily, we had the use of the pavilion which made signing on and our 10 podium, presentations, which were made immediately after each race, a much more enjoyable experience.
The winners of all 10 races were presented with their souvenir winner shirts and the respective series leaders proudly wore their yellow Series Leader jerseys for their second race of the day thanks to our racing Sponsors Aquaterra Energy and Parson Woodforde Pub and Restaurant - thanks guys.
We were delighted to welcome one very important spectator later in the afternoon who kindly presented some of the awards. Local girl and Team GB track star Victoria Williamson spent a couple of hours chatting to riders and patiently posing for piccies complete with her recent World Championship bronze medal. Thanks Victoria, you have lots of new fans at the NCA and we would love to see you again whenever you are at home at one of our grassroots racing and coaching programme. You are helping us inspire the next generation of young riders and those just getting started. Who knows, one of the young girls you met today could be your teammate in 5 or 10 years time on the GB team!

More piccies including all the podium presentations to follow soon…
After months of planning and hard work, Norwich’s first season long circuit racing series is almost here. All we need now is your support and willingness to give it a go. Whether you are male or female, 10 or 110 we have a category and race for you!
We have been given the keys to the pavilion at the circuit (shelter for the volunteers at least!), the yellow jerseys are printed and the prizes are ready thanks to racing league sponsors Aquaterra and the Parson Woodforde Pub and Restaurant.
If you ever wondered what racing might be like this weekend is your chance. We have 8 championship categories and you will get 2 races to challenge and develop you as riders. The races are designed for new and developing riders – no previuous experience is required and we have the loan bike fleet available to help you get started. Whether you plan to ride club runs, a charity ride or just for fun the skills and technique you will develop in our races will help you with your ambition.

I have drawn together all the information you may need and details on how you can get FREE British Cycling membership and a race licence in the 2013 racing league guide and FAQ available from the homepage of the website. We will also have coaching for young ones and families as usual at 9.30 and a new rider coaching session at 10.45 with Simon. Full details here:

I am looking for a few keen volunteers on Sunday. Nothing too tough, a little marshalling and stuff. Please email me if can help – even for an hour after your event perhaps?
Thursday (tonight) is also the night for younger riders to meet and listen to British Cycling’s talent coach Rob Sharman. See the previous posts for details – 6.30pm at Eaton Primary School.
The Friday Sufferfest is shaping up well, we have lots of turbo’s at 6.15 and a few at 7.45 so get in quick. No need to book if you are bringing your own equipment.
Keep riding,
Neil, Kev, Russell and Simon.
Did you attend the Norfolk Cycle Show a couple of weeks ago among the 7000 visitors? Here is our short film of the day – can you spot yourselves???
