Ian Penson competed in this race in Black Park, West Drayton. As reported by Bike Magic " The course features a track that is pan flat and is a mixture of fire roads, some superb flowing sinewy single track with a couple of bomb holes on well drained surfaces which always results in fast and furious racing and this year was no different. "
As reported by Ian: " 18 miles in atrocious conditions – rain, wind, mud etc. I couldn’t feel my feet or fingers at the end…and I was thrashed 18th out of 22! The circuit was good (if it was dry). Fell off a few times (per lap)! ."
