Russell Downing of NFTO Pro Cycling, Graham Briggs and Adam Blythe, also of NFTO Pro Cycling, the fastest riders up Monsal Head on Sunday

Winner on a specially prepared bike was Graham Briggs who had his last hurrah before a holiday with a time less than a second ahead of Russell Downing riding a fixed wheel and Adam Blythe, also on a fixed wheel. These three finished in front of last years winner Jack Pullar who was 4th.

Report, interviews and a big photo album to come later … In the meantime, here’s a taste of the day –
