The evening was near perfect - 16 C. and no wind. However, most stayed home because of rain in other parts of the region. Those who did show up all did well and women outnumbered the men 4 to 3.

The only youth rider did a personal best, beating his previous time by almost a minute.

Thanks to Dave Kenny and Ian Hay for marshalling the turns.
