September 2, 2002 – For the 3rd year in a row, Chris Eatough (Trek/VW),
Great Britain, won the World Solo 24 Hours of Adrenalin Championship title.
In spite of severe weather conditions that had to be endured in the final
hours, Eatough held a solid 1st place standing, coming in through the
finish line at 23:04:53 and finishing with 19 laps. “This was truly an
epic race,” reported Eatough at the finish line.

In the Elite Female Solo category, Canada’s Lesley Tomlinson (Rocky
Mountain/Oakley/Nike) finished with an impressive time in her first 24 hour
race, with 17 laps at 24:30:55. Said Tomlinson, “I didn’t know what I had
gotten myself into, which was probably a good thing.” Tomlinson is a
1996/2000 Canadian Mountain Bike Olympian and Commonwealth Games Silver
Medalist and 1999 Pan American Championships Silver Medalist.
