When asked by another rider, "Is it easier the second time around?",
Matthew Bramlee (second Men's Sport) replied, "I wish; the mud was
really bad on the second lap after everyone had been through it." This
comment about the course was heard from all the riders; it was very
slick and muddy, with many wet roots and rocks to keep the racers'
attention.

After a wet and muddy race all the participants enjoyed a lunch and the exchanging of stories with race organizers Glenn and Kim Tyler-Stirling.
