Poor turnout despite the excellent conditions. Some people very tired from Aurora event yesterday. Lots of spectators ( this is a great course for watching!). Rides of the day: 1. Emily Batty was the only competitor to ride all the way up the first steep incline every lap! 2. Ian Starke got 3rd. in Master A after starting a minute late and working his way up through the field 3. Jeff Weber put in a lap at nearly a minute faster than previous one to distance himself from the pursuers.
