Charles Mitchell (a3crg) led a good day for his team with victory in the Wessex RC 50-mile time trial, clocking 1:49.15 for the P417 course near Bere Regis in Dorset.

The 37-year-old went slower than his fourth place ride in the Charlotteville CC 50 two weeks ago, but his time was close to the course record and easily enough for victory.

Mitchell, who finished 22nd in the RTTC National Championship last season, took the win by 51 seconds over Gary Chambers (Fareham Wheelers CC) who also placed second in the Sotonia CC 25 last week.

Rounding off the podium places was Rich Hunt (Army Cycling Union) who clocked a time of 1:51.54.

Laura Bartlett (a3crg) was the fastest woman in a time of 2:07.04 while the best novice prize went to Jay Hookings (Offcamber) who finished fifth overall in 1:53.56.

a3crg also claimed the team prize.
