The 12 year category saw Matthew Harris claim 7th overall and another win came Royston's way in the 14 year class where James Handleigh lead the class all day.
In the 15's the 3rd place went to Jordan Godfrey which was also the finishing position for Andrew Brooker in the 16's. In the girls classes Royston's Faye Godfrey took 3rd in the 11-12 year group and Helen Nicholl going one better with a 2nd in the 25+ Ladies cruiser class as did David Thompson in the 25-29 category whilst 4th place went to Alex Shore-Nye in the Masters (30+) class and in the
