It was supposed to be a 25 Miles trial, but part of the course was flooded due to the recent spot of bad weather. The six brave riders (or silly, depending from the point of view) decided to switch the course by using the start of the 5 miles course, do a lap of the 30 miles course (15 miles), back to the start, add the 5 miles course and finish at the official 5 miles course finish. That was a new 20 miles course.
It was gently raining at the start, but the rain got worse and worse, and it ended under quite heavy rain for all the riders. There are no previous times to compare, but it was hard work in cold and wet conditions. Martin called it a day after 15 miles, showing that common sense was not completely absent on the day. All the others swam to the finish.
Special thanks to Trevor Figgitt and Ron Philpot, who spent quite a long time waiting in bad weather conditions to give a time to the 6 lunatics.
