The weather continued to have a big impact on the North Norfolk Wheelers' time trials during August.

The 10-mile time trials at the beginning of the month were held in fine, warm conditions and the turnout and the results were very good. There were a number of personal bests – including Hyde, Hayward, Platts and Thorold.

Isla Rush – the club's junior female rider and an exceptional talent with prospects for a bright future in cycling – achieved a personal best with a tremendous ride of 26 mins 45 secs. Isla has just gained sponsorship to help her progress with her cycling.

The 25 mile time trial was held in awful conditions with rain and high winds making it tough for the riders. However, despite, the weather, there were some exceptional performances with Nurse, Walsh and Thorold all achieving personal bests.

Charlie Nurse won the Albert Lefevre Memorial Shield for best outright time, Nigel Walsh won the new club handicap trophy and Brian Platts won the veterans' handicap trophy.

Unfortunately, no other time trials, including the 18� mile hilly time trial, could be held in the August because of the high winds.
