What a brilliant venue for the Black Diamond. This year’s loop was without doubt the longest and most testing ever. The loop was 14 km of bloody hard work, hills, rocks, mud and water, this was after the most hazardous part had been cut out. The track was considered so difficult it was decided that the total loops be reduced from 10 to 8 in order to be awarded a gold medal. I thought this was a bit weak by all those that put there hands up at the riders meeting. Easy for me to say from the comfort of my van. Thank you Patricia and Jolly for doing such a fantastic job lap counting and timing. Thank you Alan for doing the lap stickers. Here are the results in no particular order listed below. Take a closer look at the picture to see your lap times etc.
