Trkulja won this 19.70 event on an amended course and after an absence of the event in 2021.

The club's time trial championship could not be held last year as the proposed date fell in a COVID shut down period.

This year the course needed an alteration to avoid bad road conditions at Yerriyong and was extended from the usual 14 kilometre distance to this year's almost 20 kilometre ride.

Curtis won this 2022 edition by four and a half minutes when he covered the distance in 28 minutes 28.99 seconds.

In second place was Josh Henry in 32 minutes 55.49 seconds.
