The VTTA 24 hour National Championship was held the weekend of 22/23 July in Cheshire and Shropshire. The event was part of the world famous Mersey Roads 24, alias the RTTC 24 hour National Championship. Conditions were tough - it rained heavily for half the event from 3pm to 4am and the riders had to follow a hillier route because part of the usual course was unavailable. All the riders are to be congratulated on completing this gruelling event. Special congratulations go to the Men's Champion Robbie Mitchell and the Women's Champion Chris Murray, and to runners up Christian Geldard, Doug Hart and Joanna Cebrat.

This year results are on Age Adjusted Distance (AAD), measured in miles. This is the actual distance age adjusted to 40
