Michelle Walter (Bournemouth Arrow CC) and Justin Webb (…a3crg) were the fastest woman and man in the Sotonia Open 10 mile time trial held on the P164 based in Lyndhurst. Conditions were generally good, warm with a breeze coming from the most favourable direction for the small field, further depleted by rather a lot of DNS’s on a fine day.

Conditions were tight at the top of the Men’s event with four riders finishing inside 22 minutes and Walter got the better of the promoting club’s Hannah Polden by 36 seconds in the Women’s event.

In the tandem event, Father and Daughter Stuart and Skye Martingale combined to record a very creditable 28.28.
