Our joint Time Trial event with the VTTA is on Saturday 6^th April and this year there is a small change to the event – as we’re all getting that little bit older we’ve dropped the distance from 16 to 15 miles to make it easier!  Actually, it’s the usual undulating course  [Welland/Rye Cross/B4211/Longdon/ Upton/Welland] except the finish is on the outskirts of Welland.

There are solo and two-up competitions, including prizes based on VTTA age standard times, and the overall team award is a competition between LVRC and VTTA members for the Welland Trophy. 

Headquarters is Welland Village Hall WR13 6NE, first rider off at 14.00, entry fee £12 per rider.

Entries on-line via the CTT website, or postal entries on CTT entry forms to:

Mike Amery,  18 Giffard Drive,  Welland  WR13 6SE  Tel: 01684 310168

Closing date Tuesday 26th March

I write to let you know, very sadly, Ron Day passed away last night after a relatively short battle with cancer. He was 85. Both Trudie and I have seen him in the past few days and he was at peace with himself. 

Ron was a founder member of the LVRC back in 1986 and the original founder of LVRC R7 which he led until Trudie succeeded him a few years ago.

He was a true visionary for the LVRC and was continuously supportive of the ongoing changes to the organisation as we evolved to meet the rapidly changing needs and expectations of our membership. 

On a personal basis he was invaluably supportive of me during my time as Chairman, sometimes through some quite difficult circumstances and strategic disagreements on the NEC. 

Within the LVRC at a National and Regional level we all have so much to be grateful for to Ron and his leadership.

 

Rest in Peace Ron Day.  

In response to enquiries I have been receiving - the GS Vecchi event on 14th April at Preston Candover in Hants near Basingstoke is definitely a counting round of the LE COL/Arcadian Series 2019.

Unfortunately organiser Mick Ives has had to cancel the Battle of Edge Hill 2-stage road race on 16th June, as a key section of road used in both stages is likely to be affected by early HS2 work.
