A beautiful day welcomed about 60 mountain bikers to the Billapaloola Cyclegaine on Sunday 25th July.  25 teams competed on a course that featured a good range of cycling from a bit of fast bitumen around the hash house to short sections of very sticky clay.  Sweeping vistas were gained from the hilltops and blackberries negotiated to get to the controls off the road.

After final checking, Adrian Sheppard and David Baldwin won with 1530 points from Michael Munro-Mobbs and Bleeksie (Robert Bleeker) on 1480 points on a large course.  Alina McMaster and Tom Landon-Smith took out the mixed and Jeannie Douglass and Julie Bassett were clear winners in the womens.  See the results page for everyones scores and where they went in Google Earth.
