Another near-perfect night for the last 20km of the season and it produced personal bests for a number of riders. Don Gilmore won again with a time only 10 seconds outside his course record and Patrick Burnham beat his previous best despite being delayed by a slower rider at the turn. Reagan Lovig had his best 20km time of the season by several seconds, and Matt Evans beat his short lived pb from last week by taking off another minute and a half to secure a top three finish. Lorrie Baildham took first place in the women's category with a further improvement on her way back to full fitness and Abigail Hare also posted a P.B. To add to her great ride at the Axel Merckx youth camp last weekend. Ian Gilmore won the male youth category, again in a personal best time for the distance.
