A bitterly cold but bright day greeted the SUMBC XC contigent who took on the fast and very dry trails at Porridgepot.
In the 4hr Male category, the winner was fought out between two of the top XC riders from Torq, with reigning 24hr national champion Matt Page in 3rd. Rob lead the SUMBC contigent home. Tom Roberts nearly finished in the top third in the 2hr race, an impressive result given the quality of the field.
