Sunshine, warming temperatures and barely breath of wind greeted a field of 16 riders on this fourth 40 of the 2019 season. This time it was Rodrigo Diaz dominating the race, almost three minutes clear of second placed Graham Page. Sole female in contention, Celia McInnis posted a 77 minute ride, some 30 seconds behind her July performance. Scratchman Erwan Peres suffered a puncture at the turn and pedalled to the finish on a flat rear tyre.
Last 40 of the season takes place Sunday, September 8th at Franktown.
