So sixty nine riders in a mass start for just the one ten lap race. Course length is given as 3 miles, and the event was won by Brian Stonebridge in a time of 1 hr 19 min 21 2/5 sec. So - an average speed of 22.68 mph. No wonder there was an argument about 'proper' mud and rocks [ - course plan shows a quarry ] scrambles in the north, and 'path racing' in the south.
