Although the forecast threw some doubts on race day, riders woke to sunny skies and a drying course. It wasn’t totally dry with conditions changing throughout the morning, with mud combining with rocks to leave a challenging course for racing.
At the end of the race session, it was Jack Wright in for the win, closely followed by regular podium contenders, Sam ‘the banana’ Fraser and young gun, Niki Barber.
Big thanks to Red Hat for shuttling, Wassa for coming to the rescue of the trailer and stalwarts Gerald, Paul and Reesy for helping bring it all together.
We will work on the club pointscore, but it looks to be heating up between DRCC, Outlook and STH for the trophy.
