Two visiting riders finished first and second, with Paul Double (VC Venta) recording 53mins 42secs, well ahead of Andrew Pickett (Eden Veranda Racing) in 54-14.

Steve Williamson of a3crg took third place in 54-24, while James Long (Farnham Tri) managed a creditable 59-08.

Mike Fricker was the quickest of Farnham’s own riders in 1-04-57, followed by Greg Harding in 1-05-00, Jim Parker 1-07-56, Ian Howard 1-08-58 and Huw Lloyd 1-09-01.

Fastest lady rider was Laura Bartlett (a3crg) in 1-00-20. Then came Jo Wright (Farnham Tri) in 1-02-44 and Anna Stedman (Charlotteville) in 1-11-07.

Timekeepers were Jim Brown and Ian Thomas, assisted by Michael Rice and Silvio Cortis.
