This race has been a fixture on the club calendar for several years, though numbers of club riders were reduced this year due to a clash with the Stevenage Randonee.

In conditions that turned out to be good, with warm sunshine and drying roads with a slight breeze, Andrew Brown recorded 51min 21sec and Andrew Porter 58min 55sec. Improving youngster Andrew Street, riding his first time trial of the year, completed the course in an excellent 55min 54sec and was fastest junior on the day.

The event was won by Clive Nicholls of High Wycombe CC in 44min 35sec. Other local riders competing in the event were: Laura Bissell (GS Stada) 58min 59sec (2-up), Simon Layfield (Team Welwyn) 54min 42sec and Tim Read (Stevenage CC) 48min 47sec. Unluckiest Rider of the day was former Wheeler Richard Webster (Team Welwyn) who, failing to spot a pot-hole in the road surface, received punctures to front and rear wheels, and had a long walk back to the race headquarters.
