LPVC rides again
Leathes Prior Velo Club (LPVC) upped the ante this year with each rider completing the Norwich 100 Cycle in aid of the British Heart Foundation.
The route starts in the Close in Norwich and heads North out of the city to Reepham and then up to the coast at Morston before turning East onto the “Hills of Doom” running along the coast to Cromer. From there the cyclists continue round the coast to Horsey before turning Eastwards via Wroxham and back to Norwich.
LPVC’s Peloton Romeo (Mike Barlow, Aidan Tidnam and Ed Savory) blasted round in just under 6 hours with Peloton Juliet (Catherine Hepworth and Polly Langford) completing in 6 and a half hours.
The firm’s heroic triathlete, Paula Lawn (a Norwich 100 miler last year), opted for the Norwich 50 followed by an 8 mile run.
After the cycle Mike Barlow, the firm’s Managing Partner, commented: “I have fought some tough litigious battles in my time. The ride was harder but just as satisfying. The real difference is that I don’t tend to waddle out of court!”
