Rick Froud (Alton CC) prevailed in Reading CC’s 50 at Bentley, clocking 1-53-37 ahead of Phil Watts (North Hampshire RC), 1-54-33, with both starting in the first quarter of the field.
Peter Garnett (Swindon RC) took the honours in Western TTA’s 100-mile event at Cirencester in 4-11-21, also leading the winning team, with later starter Dean Edwards (Worcester St Johns CC) defying a rising wind to take second in 4-14-55.

The Team Swift trio of Andy Jackson, Jon Surtees and Joel Wainman sliced 41 seconds off the National 10-mile team record in the club's time trial on Wednesday evening.
Team Swift already held the record with Wainman and Jackson teaming up with Ali Wareham in 2013, but their record was beaten by the 2014 trio who posted a combined team time of 56-16 in round two of the Team Swift 10 League.
Jackson, from Leeds, covered the V718 course at South Cave in East Yorkshire in 18-37 to take the solo win by five seconds from Surtees, from Tattersall in Leeds.
