Sunny conditions greeted 44 riders for the prestigious Les Brookman Memorial Handicap today sponsored by Fika Coffee Brewers. With small time gaps between most bunches the feeling before the race was that everyone would come together early to chase down the limit group. However, things panned out a little differently. The 3rd scratch group swallowed up a bunch or two in the first lap and stayed away from 2nd scratch until the last 6km. The small scratch bunch of 4 riders clawed their way onto the second scratch group by the top of Boot Hill on the second lap. Meanwhile, limit group riders Jenni White and James Knipe had broken away from their bunch, worked together to stay 10 minutes ahead of their nearest chaser! The pair averaged a very credible 33kph on a difficult course with strong winds. A well deserved first and second place.
