The 3rd of March saw a small turn-out in tough cycling conditions - times were slower all round, although it was good to see Dr Barry Spencer back again and posting a PB for the season.

Robert Bie                    00:44:50
Rodney Spencer          00:46:07
Darron Raw                  00:48:07
Barry Spencer              00:48:17
Kevin Haycocks           00:49:38

The 10th March was again a small field with Craig Randall returning to dominate the field. Nadja Shields was in good form with a solid ride - achieving a personal best and the fastest ladies time for this course.  Her time was almost 10 minutes faster than her PB in the previous season - that is a huge step-up. Manyakatane Dlamini also posted a personal best for the season on this day, as did Pedro Isidoro and Linda Vilakati.


Craig Randall                 00:42:16
Nadja Shields                 00:45:50
John Williams                 00:51:03
Manyakatane Dlamini   00:51:07
Pedro Isidoro                 00:54:25
Linda Vilakati                 01:03:00

The 17th March had Nadja leading the field home after Robert had some mechanical issues. Kevin Haycocks posted a personal best, keeping John Williams at bay - good one Kevin!

Nadja Shields                00:47:29
Kevin Haycocks            00:48:23
John Williams                00:48:58
Robert Bie                     00:50:40

The final ride of the season on the 24th March was potentially a season show-down between the two fastest riders Robert Bie and Craig Randall, but as the results show, Robert was not firing on all cylinders and Craig had the front to himself. Nadja had another good ride coming in just 15 seconds off her PB.

Craig Randall                00:42:55
Robert Bie                     00:45:38
Nadja Shields                00:46:05
Manyakatane Dlamini   00:54:49
