With a full field of 80 starters and nice spring weather the bunch was very active with riders trying to break the bunch, with the bunch still together for the first prime which was taken by Ben Stockdale MJS Racing. Eventually a break of 9 riders gained 20 seconds and then was reduced to 7 riders who all worked well together and increased their lead to 30 seconds. There was a brief split as the riders sprinted for the last prime won by Steve Dring Echelon Cycles. Then the brake came back together for the bell lap and the brake maintained their lead to the finish with Steve Golla High Wycombe CC winning by a bike length.
