An unwelcome downpour just before the start of the race added an extra element for Spalding Cycling Club members to contend with on their weekly time trial.
A total of 13 riders took to the Pode Hole course and it was a familiar face at the top with Dominic Brand continuing his strong form with a time of 21 minutes 49 seconds to lead home veteran Frazer Wallis (22:16).
A welcome returnee was Chris Ward, after missing the start of the season due to injury. He came home a solid fourth, just ahead of Kieran Buffham, who again
won the road bike category, 23:16.
Evgeniya Brand rounded out the top 10 overall and won the women’s category with a time of 26:13.
There was another strong ride from young gun Scarlett Ward in her first season.
