Mark Godfrey was 31st in the 15-16 category.“We were looking for them to demonstrate that they can race that distance and gain experience in a very large field. While we experienced one flat tyre (Correia) and one crash (Cann), all of the boys completed the 64-mile race, even Cann who went from the finish line to the medical tent for treatment.“The fact that he rode for almost 90 minutes after a major crash on a dirt road section shows his determination to finish, even under very challenging circumstances.”Sarah Bonnett from Team Madison had an excellent race, finishing 23rd in the Women’s Category III division, while Brian Drea finished 36th in the Men’s Category III-Grey category. Neil Lupsic came in 47th.Phil Trussell and Greg Reid both suffered punctures around the half way mark and finished further down the field.Bicycle Works also had a good outing, with Chris Harkness (39th) and Spike Tomlinson (43rd) leading their charge in the Men’s Category IV-Orange.
