Our favourite event of the year and another outstanding set of results:
Once again we won First Small Club (clubs with 100 or fewer members), we’ve won this every year we’ve entered.
Initially, we finished 3rd Club Class in our fastest ever overall time of 21hrs 55mins and 30 seconds, our first time under 22hrs! However, after the winning club class team were penalised for a breach of the rules, we were upgraded to 2nd Club Class post race.
The Eccles family won the First Family prize, well done Michael, Joanne, Billy and Eva.
