Never mind City V United, Liverpool V Everton or Bjorg V McEnroe. The rivalry between the Norwood Paragon and Addiscombe CC trumps them all. These two clubs have been racing against each other, and riding with each other, for almost 100 years. Every year the two former Croydon based clubs meet on the Bletchingley TT course in Surrey for an interclub TT over a testing 10.6 mile circuit. Bragging rights and pride are on the line, while drinks are enjoyed in the pub afterwards.
In 2021 Norwood Paragon were clear winners with a combined (six fastest riders) time of 169.44 mins against 171.33 mins. Chris Moores (NPCC) was the fastest on the night with a 26.30 minute time.
