Speaking to Giles Cerisola after the event he was to comment, “a fantastic track, showers in the days prior certainly aided the terrain well and made it far more enjoyable as well as faster. It felt good having team PEB attending in numbers and as a club that we are. Hopefully this will motivate more riders to join us in races and other cycling enthusiasts to join our ever growing club.”
