Dylan Bilston	4th	Sprinted well and finished just off the podium.  He was a bit tired from running 6km during the week and pushing wheelbarrows of cement with his brother.
Emma Bilston	3rd	Had a mechanical and rode the entire 30km course with one gear only – an U11 roll out gear.
Liam White	3rd	Rode aggressively. Got into the break.  Just dropped off it and time trialled to 3rd place ahead of the peleton. A great ride after only being back on his bike for 8 weeks.
Monica Kelly	1st	She is improving every race and is now the U19 Country Road Race Champion.

We wish Simon Nankin well as he recovers from having his appendix out last week. 
Other athletes who were sick and unable to ride included Clement Boydell, Will Allen, Jack Quibell, Munro Boydell.

The coaches also pulled on some cycling knicks and stretched out their legs around the course.  Helen finished 3rd and Bob was 4th.
