However, by the start time, the rain had stopped and the favourable south westerly wind blew the seven riders who took part up the hill, making for fast times.

Kevin White was once again victorious, outgunning Chris Green in to second place by 21 seconds. White recorded a time of 18:39 whilst Green finished on 19:00.

Third place went to John Johnston who is continuing to improve, finishing in a superb seasons best time of 19:33.
