King's Lynn rider Ben Stancombe and Somerleyton veteran Jenny Anderson were the winners in the VC Baracchi 50 mile time trial along the Waveney Valley.
Both had comfortable winning margins - Anderson (2:19:18) having a six-minute advantage over Beccles triathlete Michelle Sayer.
Stancombe's time was 1-46:03 and his nearest challenger was VC Baracchi's own Lucas He - currently riding in Cambridge University colours - who came home in 1-51 17, just a minute quicker than John Bradbury (CC Sudbury). Jenny Anderson's fine ride was also the best by a veteran on age-standard, but the one-rider-one-prize rule moved that on to CC Breckland's Chris Nudds (2-05:16, plus 26:32)
The Baracchi event was a little breezy, but the event fortunately slotted neatly into a gap between showers.
The previous afternoon Stancombe had clocked 47mph, so strong was the tailwind during part of the Cambridge CC 15 on the so far largely hedge-less Cambridge - Caxton Gibbett new road. After the headwind return leg, Stancombe (VeloVelocity) still had an average speed of 31mph and a time of 28:53 for sixth spot.
In the accompanying tandem event Lowestoft pair John Swanbury, 72, and Allistair Banks, 64, were just six seconds off a national age record with their time of 34:14.
The VC Norwich 10 miler on the Besthorpe-Browick road saw wins for King's Lynn rider Matthew Senter (Peterborough CC, 19:39) and visitor from the Newbury RC Claire Emons (22:44)

Here there was a win for Jimmy Piper in 50-plus and second places for Hingham 40-49 rider Glenn Stanford and 60-plus man Nigel Herrod.
Nigel's son, Zac, changed from his recent road bike exploits to take his MTB to fourth in the Elite/Expert category.
