Southern distance experts got their British Best All-Rounder campaigns an early boost in the Hounslow & District Wheelers’ 100-mile time trial at Bentley in North Hampshire on sunny Sunday .Poole-based Adam Topham (High Wycombe CC) shrugged off the heat and roared around five laps of the A31-based course in a stunning 3-37-40 to beat Southampton’s Julian Jenkinson (Contre la Montre) into second spot.Jenkinson, who won the national BBAR in 2010 and was second in the competition last year, was almost six minutes slower than Topham with 3-43-40.Third place was taken by Jenkinson’s teammate, ace Ironman James Gilfillan with an excellent time of 3-47-30. With Marc Barfoot’s 4-50-20, Contre la Montre went on to take the team award.Bournemouth Jubilee Wheeler Dave Pickering clocked a fine 4-08-01 while teammate Phil Evans finished with 4-39-15 to his credit. Sotonia CC’s Stuart Martingale clocked 4-16-12 and Wessex RC veteran Fred Newton, 4-46-11.Event organiser Trevor Gilbert said: “It could be described as very hot. The wind had an effect but it was not as bad as yesterday.”He said Topham’s time was “the fastest ever recorded for our normal event, the only time it was beaten was in the Championship in 1997”.“I think it was a brilliant ride. After the event, Adam was staggering rather than walking.”
