Riders from Ely & District B&T Motor Repairs braved the near freezing conditions as they continued their return from lockdown.

Four members took part in a 10-mile time trial event, organised by the East Anglia Veterans Time Trial Association on Saturday, April 10 from Six Mile Bottom to Fourwentways, before re-joining the A11.

John Manlow backed up an impressive display at the King’s Lynn Cycling Club event on Good Friday with a time of 22 minutes, 14 seconds in his latest outing, finishing 39th overall.
