With 3 big climbs, some rough ground, plenty of glutinous mud and quite a long outing the winter race was challenging enough. Young Josh hurtled down the heather as the early starters cautiously pottered down the fence line to Grindsbrook, and he was 3 minutes clear of Pete at the end. A worthy winner, however the Eric Mitchell trophy was won by Pete Gorvett who won by 3 seconds on the Dave Holmes formula!
