Results

Once again, the rain held off, though there was quite a bit of standing water in places. We were assisted again by Dick's civil engineering tendencies, as he helped one huge puddle drain away, at least partially.

Congratulations to Simon Cannings for a first rate ride on this rather technical course (he also won on vet standard. Coming in second was the youngster of the field, James Richardson with a fine ride on his road bike.
