With the sun shining we kicked off the first handicap race of the season. 61 riders took off at their given marks with 19 minutes separating limit and scratch. The pace was pretty hot from the very beginning averaging 37-45kph per lap, this proving too quick for some riders who called it a day after two of the four laps. On the final lap the weather took a turn with a very cold wind and showers, more incentive to get to the finish line so they could wrap up warm. The results are as follows:
Kerry Russell – 1:32:53
Erin Criglington
Sam Kopae
Kate Wilson
Marty Lohrey
Fastest Time – Hamish Keast – 1:23:30
D Grade (2 Laps) Results:
Ciara Kelly – 52:58
Pearl Harris-Blain
Hayley Paterson
Hyrum Raivaru
Jess Spencer
E Grade (1 Lap) Results:
Caitlin Kelly – 31:26
