With a week off for the club’s senior cyclocross and MTB racers, it was left to the junior members of the Ely & District Cycling Club - B&T Motor Repairs to represent the club in competition.
On Sunday Tom Lewis headed down to London to compete in the Hilligdon Autumn Duathlon in the Tristars 2 race for competitors aged 11 and 12.
This consisted of a 750m run, a 6km bike ride, with a 1.5km run to finish.
Despite being one of the younger riders, Tom finished the race in second place, nearly two minutes ahead of the rider in third place.
A couple of days earlier, on Friday evening, Toby Turner took part in the Fenland Clarion Go-Ride Cross Races in Peterborough.
