A great turnout for the inter-club 10 mile time trial last week that included riders from Velouse Flyers, East Coast Riders and Tri-Harman. It was close at the top overall with Jamie Sparrow (North Norfolk Wheelers) at 21:50 just 1 second faster than Ben Keeley (Velouse Flyers) 21:51 with Connor Rumbles (Norwich Race Team) third on a road bike with 22:26. With the road bike category getting ever more popular 8 riders battled it out for the road bike honours with Connor Rumbles first with 22.26, followed by B.Sandle (Velouse Flyers) at 23:50 then Graham Denny (North Norfolk Wheelers) with 23:52. Pete Farrell (East Coast Riders) had the fastest handicap time (based on previous performances) with a time adjusted 20:08. Thanks to the timekeepers and marshals and we look forward to the weekly time trials continuing over the next couple of months.
