Colchester Rovers new recruit Giles Askham took the honours in Colchester Rovers’ final time trial event of the season.
Askham recorded an excellent time of one hour, five minutes and 33 seconds around the two-lap 25-mile Great Bentley course. He registered a winning handicap time of 56m 33s to finish ahead of runner-up David Catchpole (58m 11s and 1h 03m 41s).
Former winner Peter Partner was third (58m 18s and 1h 10m 48s).
Helen Thomas ended a superb first time trial season to take the ladies’ crown in an impressive 1h 13m 25s, despite some mechanical issues.
Second-claim member Jeff Wharton rode the fastest scratch time of the day with a seriously fast 1h 02m 40s.
That forced Nick Webber into second, despite his impressive 1h 02m 48s, while men’s club champion Adrian Manley was third with 1h 03m 15s.
