For and on behalf of Cycling Time Trials under their rules and regulations

Firstly, thanks to the timekeepers, Mark Scanlon (Newbury R.C.) and Mark Jones (Oxford City), and to the marshalls and helpers from Sri Chinmoy CT.

Thanks also to the weather gods, who gave us a nice decent day (it was looking a bit dicey when I checked forecast on Friday morning.)

Congratulations to the overall winner, Nick English (AW Cycles.co.uk) for a 30mph+ ride. (19.54). It shows the course can be rewarding course on a good day. Nick was pushed close by Pete Tadros (20.05) (In-Gear Quickvit Trainsharp RT) Pete, a good hill climber, was quickest to the top of the long drag at the turn (11.32) but Nick caught up on the return leg. Third place with Justyn Cannon (RAF CC) in 20.22, who had slow puncture on the way back. Danny Axford and Simon Harradine also managed sub 21 minute rides. Fastest lady was Gillian Reynolds (Willesden CC) in 25.37 with Katie King 2nd (Zappi Cycling Club) in 26.56.

Vets on Standards was won by Pete Tadros + 6.02, with Richard Howes (Coventry Road club) 2nd +5.18) and Jim Mcloughlin third (+5.02).

First junior was Gregory Holmes Hillingdon CC in a promising time of 25.03

Peter Oliver and Mark Cox were the fastest tandem, recording 7.51 seconds back from the turn! Geoff Booker was the fastest trike at 26.02.

Finally, the team winner were deservedly Oxonian CC, with James Hunt, Gavin Tilson and Jeff King being the fastest team of three.
