After another week of torrential rain the final round of this winters series was once again blessed with a bright clear day and great riding conditions. Tunnel Hill is renown for its flowing singletrack and the Gorrick team produced another splendid course.

In only her second event Olive O'Leary with her raspberry jacket flapping in the wind completed 2 laps finishing 13th the Ladies 2hr race. Fellow Celt Peter Wilsdon came in 94th in the Male 2hrs.
Damian Redmond came 41st in the very competitive 2hr Male Vet race just missing out on the points for an overall series ranking. Where do all these extra people come from for the last event?
Also it was great to see our enduro vet Andy Goodyer back on the start line, kick starting his training for some 6hr events this year finishing 51st and Wills dad Martin 52nd.
Having his first bash at a Gorrick event was Glynn Edwards(Team Juan Lap) he did just that, he had a smile on his face at the finish, I think?
Ben Connor(left) had an impressive 16th in the 4hr Male managing 6 laps in 4hrs 35min 31 secs.
Ian Petherbridge who was looking to round off the series with a top 10 position to consolidate his 5th position in the overall standings, but had the misfortune of a mechanical that put paid to his race.
John Davies just scraped home in 36th to score some points to leave him 12th in the overall.
Just behind him in 41st was John Reay, Kevin Moore 55th and Andy Jarman 57th.
Another great series with some excellent courses and surprisingly good weather, can we be that lucky next year? Lets hope so!
