A great turnout for the first Sotonia time trial of the year at Nomansland in the New Forest. Cold but dry and windy conditions didn’t deter 30 riders from testing their early season form on the hilly p182 course for the Road Bike Challenge time trial for road bikes only (no aero bars or pointy hats!) Sotonia secured the top three with a joint win for Phil Wilks and Brook Elgie in a time of 26.19, closely followed by veteran, Jonathan Hall.
