The Bermuda Bicycle Association held its R.M.S. Construction Road Race Championship in the East End, starting from Clearwater Beach in St. David's and using a course that went as far as Flatts in the initial lap and then continued with 11 mile circuits up to the roundabout by Swizzle Inn and back into St. David's.
In the Open Male race of 52 miles Dominique Mayho riding for Team Madsion outpaced the field in a final sprint that gave him the title ahead of Ian Port from team Fast Forward Bicycle Works and Mark Hatherley from team Winners Edge.
The Open Female race of 22 miles covered the shorter lap saw Nicole Mitchel from Winners Edge also win in a bunch sprint with a hard charging Krystin Robinson from team Fast Forward Bicycle Works in second and Zoenique Williams from Crime Stoppers just behind in third.
The Junior Female group raced the same distance and course as their slightly older colleagues, Gabriella Arnold from team Winners Edge won the category with Molly Pilgrim from team Fast Forward Bicycle Works finishing just behind and Kamryn Minors from Tokio crossing in third. Pilgrim crashed just over the finish line but did not sustain major injuries.
The Junior Male race was a tactical one as Mark Godfrey from team Winners Edge and Vashon Cann from team Madison broke away from the field half way through their 33 mile race and the two hung on to finish in that order. The chasing bunch finished with a sprint for third and Justin Ferreira from Winners Edge beat out the group to round out the podium.
