Bournemouth visitor Paul Jones was the fastest rider by quite a margin in today’s Sotonia club 10 on the P164 at Lyndhurst with 21.45 on day which looked promising but many found hard.

First Sotonia rider was Phil Wilks with 23.15, with son Tom, at 12 years old, making his time trial debut, clocking a very impressive 29.45 on his first time out, just 2 seconds behind his mother Gemma.

At the other end of the age scale, club Vice President Martin Napier claims to have closed a long time trialing career at the age of 75 with his time of 36.37. Will he be back though we wonder?

Thanks to Graham Harman for organising once again and Dave Crocker, Mary Corbett and Norman Harvey for time keeping. Marshals were Nigel Aiken and Jon Dudley.
