A glorious sunny day greeted 54 starters for the very tough long course along Uriarra Road.
From Uriarra Homestead riders headed very fast down the false flat towards Uriarra Crossing in a cross-tailwind before turning and dealing with the long grind all the way to the end of the bitumen past Condor Creek. From there it was simply a matter of undoing all of that climbing, over a few lumps and bumps back to the Homestead for the completion of 1 lap.
- A and B grades completed 3 laps for a total of 90km
- C and D grades completed 2 laps for a total of 60km
- E grade completed 1 lap of 30km

Congratulations to the winners and well done to everyone who managed to finish the gruelling course. Our next race is the Honeysuckle Hammer on November 24.
