The first edition of the Plomesgate 'Pick and Mix' 2-up saw Matt and Paul clear winners, but a very close competition for the rest of the podium, with three teams in the space of about 20 seconds. At the end, Stephen and Valerio manage to clinch the second place, just in front of Jim H. and Trevor, with Jim I. and Becky close by.

In 5th place, Harry took advantage of Richard's partnership to record his best time on course, just shy of breaking the 33 minutes barier.

This first edition was a bit of an experiment: the riders were seeded in two groups (let say 'the improving' and 'the improved') based on their best time on course this year, and then the teams were drawn just before the start. The result was good fun, making riding our well known course a new experience, each team having to adapt the team strategy to the luck of draw.

All the riders seemed to have enjoyed the experience.

Timekeepers and Pushers: Steve Jones, Alan Watts
