Thanks to Kevin Laskey for organising this event and to his helpers on the day, marchals on the course and Jessica and Rebecca for helping with registration and taking results.

Hopefully someone will be able to compile a more concise race report on how the race unfolded.

This was a sealed handicap race and only the current grades that riders are racing in are shown here. The handicaps will be revealed tomorrow and the overall winner of the cup  determined.
