Cris Coxon was quickest at the Southern Counties CU 25-mile time trial in Surrey on Sunday morning, with fastest female going to Hilary Briggs.

Coxon was unable to trouble his own course record of 48-46 this time as he recorded a finishing time of 51 minutes and 43 seconds.

The Brighton Mitre CC rider now has nine wins from 20 events so far this season, and will be hoping to continue his fine form at the RTTC National Road Bike Championship 18.5-mile time trial next month.

Serpentine Running Club’s Hilary Briggs took the women’s title in 1-09.32, behind the current women’s course record of 56-41 held by Pip Jenkins.

Fastest on a road bike was Matt Phipps-Taylor (Paceline RT) who also finished fourth overall in 57-31.

Avinash Mahandru of Rapha Cycling was second in 1-03.45 and a time of 1-07.43 helped Hounslow and District Wheelers rider Robert Gilmour to the final spot on the road bike podium.

The 25-mile event, ran on the G25/55 course, saw riders complete two small loops and one big loop. The event started in South Holmwood and headed southbound through Beare Green along the A29 before bearing left onto the Capel Bypass.

Competitors then doubled back along the bypass before turning left onto Ockley Road and proceeding south past Ockley.

Riders then turned southeast before turning on Bognor Road and continuing east to Kingfold.

Competitors then headed north and back up the A24 to complete the big loop, heading past Capel to complete the smaller loop and then riding past Beare Green to the finish.
