Its record attendance of 21 people astounded the competitors and it is believed that it may have contributed to Campbell Martin's come-in-from-behind victory over William Brown.

The race was far from over as 10km from the finish a counter attack of 5 riders reeled them in. The rest was a full out battle where men were distinguished from the boys, and ended rather fittingly with Sterling Hext fighting through cramp to break away in the last 200 meters to win by a bike length and a half.
