It was a day for personal bests for Ely & District B&T Motor Repairs as the 2021 time trial season continued.

Four riders were in action along the E33/25 course between Six Mile Bottom and Newmarket on April 17, a 25-mile circuit consisting of two laps.

All four set new personal bests amid a north-easterly wind, making for a challenging final leg of the course.
