Mum Diane (42), Dad Matthew (45) and their 14 year old son Colin were the quickest riders in the Lady, Senior and Juvenile categories over the one-mile course. Following the previous days rain the course, a mix of single and fire tracks at Emily’s Wood in Thetford Forest was, not surprisingly waterlogged in places making it very hard going.
Closely following Matthew home was David Robb, who also completed seven laps. A further two-laps behind in third was the Club’s chairman Mark Burchett, who rode rather than raced around the circuit. This was only the second time he had ridden the event since his heart surgery in June.
The year-long competition is for all members and of all ages of the Club with the result determined by the best eight rides from all the rounds. It is held within the confines of Thetford Forest and is therefore traffic free making it ideal for children.

The winners of this year’s competition will be announced at the Club’s Annual Prize Presentation, which takes place at West Row Village Hall on Sunday 19th February 2017.
