A fatal road accident on the A12 prevented the use of the normal B10/9 course. The police was regulating the traffic at Turnstall, and was unable to let the riders though. As an alternative, the riders used the shorter emergency course: usual start, turn left at Turnstall Common, and then at Butley left again on B1084 to finish at the normal finish line. The course is about 8 miles long, and hillier than the B10/9.

Visitor John Gabriel seemed to enjoy the hills, finishing first just 3 seconds in front of Matt and about 40 seconds in front of Pete.

The new course gave some problems to vistor John Vidler, who accustomed to the normal course from years of practice, forgot the turn at Turnstall Common and was shouted back to the right course by fast approaching Tony. Apart from this misadventure, the riders seemed to like the backup course.

As far as the Plomesgate competitions is concerned, this event counts for the points, but not for any of the other competitions; the points competition is based on places, the others are based on times.
