Andover Wheelers’ Craig Wallington took a narrow victory in the road bike category at the Sotonia CC 23-kilometre time trial near Salisbury in Wiltshire on Sunday.
Using only a traditional road bike with no aero components, Wallington covered the P183 course near Hamptworth Golf Course in 36.42 to win by just four seconds from Kim Little (Gillingham and Dist Wheelers), with Bob Richardson (Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers) a further 40 seconds off the pace in third.
Sarah Matthews (a3crg) was the pick of the women, completing the course in 44.27 to win that category by almost four minutes from Sophie Herbert (Southampton university RC), with Gemma Wilks (Sotonia CC) third, another 34 seconds back.
