Five members of the Caesarean Cycle Club travelled to the Midlands on Sunday 4 June to compete in the 2006 National 25 mile Time Trial Championships. The event, which took place near Royal Leamington Spa, attracted a field of over 150 riders. The course is described as sporting as there were a number of hills and long drags. It was made harder by the unusually high temperatures, which were in the mid 20's.

The men's event was won by Jason McIntyre in 50:43 and the women's by defending champion Wendy Houvenaghel in 57:38.

Place	Rider	Time
26	Sam Firby	0:55:08
50	Chris Spence	0:56:33
58	Dave Mayman	0:57:28
12	Ann Bowditch	1:03:18
31	Sarah Smith	1:08:20
33	Helen Goulding	1:08:51

Sam Firby was the fastest Jersey rider in the men's event finishing in a very creditable 26th place with a time of 55.08. Sam was less than two minutes behind last year's winner, Michael Hutchinson. Teammate, Chris Spence finished in 50th place in a time of 56.33.

Dave Mayman posted a time of 57.28, which gave him an overall position of 58th and 14th fastest veteran, finishing within 3 minutes of ex Tour De France rider, Sean Yates.

Sarah Smith finished in 31 st position in the ladies race in a time of 1.08.20 just ahead of Helen Goulding who was 33 rd in a time of 1.08.51.

Fellow Channel Islander, Ann Bowditch finished in 12th position in a time of 1.03.18.
