Last year saw a frozen course and blue skies, same again this year? Blue skies yeah but 20 degrees warmer than last year and once again a tough hilly course. As usual the event was a sell out and both formats were full of some of the best riders in the south east. 1030 and the 4hr riders were off with elite rider Tim Dunford leading from start to finish. Ben was in the mix for first half of the race, completing 6 laps to finish an excellent 15th. Alex Davey was also at the sharp end but a problem with his cassette on lap 2 put paid to his race a lot earlier than he hoped, better luck next round.

Myself and Damian rode in the 4hr vets cat, in which the seasoned endurance rider Ant White took the honours with 6 laps, lapping me just before the finish. With the unfortunate Damian riding with a cold deciding enough was enough after 3 laps.
Fay Cripps was our only competitor in the 2hr format, she decided to ride a gentle lap after not recovering from a bad fall at the Autumn Classic.
Well done to all see you at the next round at Tunnel Hill, Mychett on 17th December, make sure you sign up early.
