Matthew Buckley (Andover Wheelers) was pushed all the way as he took a 15-second victory in the Reading 10 while Melanie Sneddon (TORQ Performance) was an emphatic winner in the women’s event.
Buckley, who also took victory in the Andover Wheelers 30- and 24-mile events earlier this season, clocked a winning time of 20 minutes and two seconds.
The H10/1 course sees riders travel out and back along the flat A4 between just outside Theale and turning near Thatcham.
Nick English (AeroCoach) was the only rider to challenge Buckley but his finishing time of 20.17 was 15 seconds short of the victory.
In the women’s event veteran rider Sneddon, who was part of the bronze medal winning team in the RTTC Team Time Trial Championships last season, clocked a winning time of 23.11.
The battle behind was for second with Abigail Vyner (Rapha Cycling Club) finishing in 25.42 some 18 seconds faster than Laura Walker (Team Bottrill / Vanguard).
