On the road he has at some time held all the club records from 10 miles to 100 miles – with the longer ones still unbeaten.
Nowadays he leads the club's weekend clubruns and is the timekeeper at their popular summer evening club events on the Somerleyton circuit.
He has been club chairman for the past 20 years and served for many years on the district committee of Cycling Time Trials.
Perhaps his greatest virtue, as a member of his club's 'old guard', has been to work with energetic younger members with new ideas, towards the lasting benefit of the club as a whole.
