The second Diggers Rest time trial for the year brought a record 35 riders to contest one of the two options of either 20 or 40km. However, this time brought strong north-westerly winds to contend with which meant Andrew and Joellen's records would most likely be safe.

In the 40km event, Phil Smith continued his winning streak with a superb time of 58:39 over a tough, open and windy course. He finished over 2 minutes ahead of Scotty McDowell and new comer Gerard Donnelly. Monique Hanley made the long trip form Gippsland to record a great time in the Women's section.

In the 20km time trial Andrew Weightman narrowly missed his record to win and remain unbeaten at ATTA in 2007. Shane Miller came in 2nd despite having broken and pinned his collar bone only 8 days previously. Sixty-two year old Freb Boland made his ATTA debut and set a near unbelievable time to take out 3rd less than 2 minutes behind the winner. The other 62 year old, Liz Randall easily took out the women's division, just eclipsing the course record set earlier in the year. First time racers Heather and Hayley went down to the wire with only 1 second splitting the duo.

Thanks to Nikolas Topp and John McDonald in providing badly needed helpers on a very busy Mothers Day.
