McGrath run a piece of cake!

Felix McGrath was the surprise winner of the Crooke Peak Cake Race on Wednesday, following an unfortunate detour for the race leader Matt Crane of Bristol & West. Coming down the final hill Crane had a thirty second lead over McGrath, but somehow loss sight of the finish line, and continue down the hill the wrong way - allowing McGrath - whose navigation as usual was spot on - to claim victory!

Well done Felix!

Ellis secures 2nd in Blazer

England star McGrath in action in Blaise
