With a frosty start there wasn’t much mud to contend with for the 27 riders, although the course had enough technical challenges to keep them on their toes.

In the Under 8 age group it was the host club’s Katie Blake who led the way with clubmate Mathilda Simpson a close second and Hereward’s Eleanor Cole completing the podium.
