In the women’s event Egerton-Warburton picked up another win by clocking 23-06, finishing ahead of Alice Edwards from the promoting club who set 25-16 while a time of 26-18 helped Jen Clegg (Team Bottrill) to seal third spot.

This event, run on the K11/10T course, is an out-and-back circuit that starts just north of Thurlaston and heads northwest on the A45 past Stretton on Dunsmore before reaching Ryton-on-Dunsmore, where riders turn and follow the route back to finish just southeast of the start line.
