There was a good field of 17 riders for the first of the Cycling Club Breckland 2009 series of club events - a five-mile time trial based at Scoulton on Wednesday last.
First away was 13-year-old Emily Davis, who has been keeping fit playing rugby during the winter months.
A puncture near the finish left her disappointed with her time of 17 minutes 44 seconds but her brother, 11-year-old Declan was pleased to record 12:54, having ridden tandem with his grandfather Don Saunders.
Fastest overall was Steve Gorbutt, of Diss CC, in 12:03 with Breckland's Geoff Muller second, timing in at 12:29.
