The D grade riders started first heading up Kimbolton Rd from The Cheltenham Hotel until they reached Kiwitea where they turned left on to Perry Line. The C graders started 5 minutes after the D’s. By the time the D’s were on to McBeth Rd, the C graders had caught them. Fortunately for most of the D graders they were only completing the short distance so when they reached the end of Bryce Rd they turned right and headed back down Kimbolton Rd to Cheltenham.
The B grade headed out from Cheltenham 14 minutes after the D grade with the A grade starting a further 6 minutes behind them. As the C grade headed back from the turn point at Kimbolton, the B grade and A grade bunches were able to see how much of a lead they had on them. They were not able to catch them by the time the first rider crossed the finish line.
The first over the line was Ross Castle, followed by Oiroa Kaihau, Campbell Stewart, Jon Clarke Darcy Ross and Michaela Drummond.
The fastest times of the day went to the A grade bunch of Angus Findlay, Luuk van Wagtendonk, Steve Stannard and Matiu Kaihau.
