The course, put on by the SVG Cycling Union, saw participants cycling from the Langley Park gap to Touroma in the north, then back to Black Point, a distance of eight miles.

Bailey did the five laps in a time of 2 hours 03 minutes 37.72 seconds. He made minced meat of the field, filleting the main contenders about one and a half laps after the start of the race.

But the main bunch caught up with Bailey on the last lap. Trailing Bailey to the finish line was Lucky Antrobus, in 2 hours 03 minutes 38.40 seconds.

Peter Durrant, who boasted before the start of the race that the table was all set for him to dine, was made to eat his words as he placed third in 2 hours 03 minutes 39.47 seconds.

Niesha Alexander took the female top place in 1 hour 5 minutes 56.29 seconds and second was Crystal Durrant in 1 hour 9 minutes 04.78 seconds. The females rode two laps of the course.
