Many thanks to Crabwood CC for allowing Sotonia to invade their time trial to run the Sotonia 10 mile championships after the original event was cancelled due to heavy rain.

The weather was marginally better this time round, and there was a great turnout of 25 riders.

Phil Wilks took the win by a margin of 40 seconds from Brendon Reese with Graham Harman close behind.

Debbie Hallet was the fastest women, with a 35 second margin over Sotonia member Wendy Knowlton.

Special mention to Evan Jardine-Skinner who stopped after 6 miles to help another competitor who had crashed off his bike in the slippery conditions. Evan was one of the favourites for the championships, and showed excellent sportsmanship in stopping to assist another rider.
