Torrential rain caused havoc in the opening event of National Time Trial Series, oragnised by Racing Team East at Stoke-by Nayland, Suffolk, but 40 year old Peter Smith from Border City Wheelers mastered the conditions to score a surprise win. Pre-race favourite Richard Prebble crashed out while trailing, while other star riders fell victim to punctures and other mechanical problems in the torrid conditions. While other riders lap times slowed, Smith was the only rider to break 25mph around the 12.5 mile circuit, covered three times. Gary Baker was one of the few puncture victims to get a spare wheel, and he finished a worthy second, while Michael Hutchinson, Adam Hardy and Chris Birch battled for third place. Eamonn Deane was the first veteran, since Smith was ineligible under the rules of the competition, as he was only forty earlier this year.

Evergreen John Woodburn, at 62 had the pleasure of just pipping Matthew Wells, last years junior BAR. Woodburn is a former Stage winner in the Peace Race and has won Mational time trial titles at distances from 25 miles to 24 hours. He is also the former Lands End to John O'Groats record holder.

The juniors had a close fought battle as Glenn Smith faded on the second lap and was overhauled in the closing miles by James Shaw, though both were superb rides.

Melanie Sears dominated the ladies event with lap times equal to many of the top men as favourite Maxine Johnson struggled, although she did pull back some places on the second lap.

This was the opening event of the seven race series sponsored by Atom Frames of Manchester and Tekno Fuel.
