20 or more riders assembled at Carlo's Ice-cream Parlour at Wellow for the first Reliability Ride of the year.

Gawain Young takes the Sotonia Championship 25 title in 59:01, with 15 year old Lewis Martin second in 1.00.44 and Jon Dudley third in 1.02.03. The Ladies' title was won by Angela Burnikell in 1.03.57.

Steven Roach was first to initiate the decisive move of the day and he finished it off after seven and a half laps of the un-relenting Owslebury course.
