THE most gruelling time trial for the North Norfolk Wheelers is the 18.5 mile hilly time trial around the hills of Weybourne and Sheringham. Riders turned out in record numbers for this point in the season to face the challenge. Twenty-two time trialists took up the challenge.

The fastest time was posted by Adrian Porter, a guest rider from King's Lynn who averaged an incredible 22.9mph. Nearly all of the riders averaged in excess of 17mph.

The season is showing great promise with many of the riders putting in excellent times - Graham Davison, Nick Poulter, Luke Chapman and John Hayward putting in personal bests and Francis Glazebrook posting 50.40 on his first ride

on the course - but some still need to shake off the effects of a long winter.

The next 10-miler is going back to basics, with no special wheels, tri bars or aero

helmets allowed.
