The going was very heavy, as it had rained or snowed for most of the week. In the Masters 40+ , Dave Dermont (True North) showed his superiority by leading from start to finish. Riding with the seniors for the rest of the series had probably given him the edge. In the women's race, Emily Batty (Bay Cycle Racing Team) diced it out for most of the event with Barb Brzezecki but pulled ahead in the final lap to win comfortably. The junior/cadet race also proved to be a comfortable win for national champion Martin Lazarski (Gears). In the master A event, Chain Reaction's John Kalinowski went away at the start and ended up lapping all except 2nd and 3rd. The anticipated battle among the top elite riders started off with Peter Morse (Midweek C.C.) getting a narrow lead in the first few meters and leading Greg Reain (Gears) and Aaron Fillion (OBC) into the third lap. But then Fillion's sheer strength allowed the Ottawa rider to steadily pull away from Reain and Morse, gaining 10 seconds a lap on Reain and a further 5 seconds per lap on Morse, who looked really tired. And that's the way they finished, with Morse pulling back some time on Reain. David Coughlin (Independent) won the espoir category, being the only under 23 rider to finish on the same lap as the top elite riders.
