Despite the lovely spring sunshine encouraging the cyclists to get on their bikes, the winds have played havoc with the time trials, with strong cross-winds giving tough riding conditions in all of the recent time trials.

The wind was particularly bad on the Sunday time trial, when only six intrepid souls turned out to brave near gale-force gusty winds: given the conditions, the riders posted good times.

Well done to Ben Findlay, a triathlete riding his first time trial, who posted an excellent time.

The winds were still blowing when the North Norfolk Wheelers won the team trophy in the Breckland open 10 mile time trial for the second year running.

There were only 12 seconds between the first five riders in the time trial with North Norfolk Wheelers' Karl Read and Laurence Wright coming in overall second and fifth place, respectively.

Having five riders in such a prestigious race all posting good times and collectively beating all-comers shows the strength and talent of the North Norfolk Wheelers.
