The girls decided to win for Mother’s Day only being split by Will Kettle, an Echuca rider whose hillclimb
training is done on channel crossings. Esther had a 10 metre gap, Will a 5, then the field was single file for
50 riders. Only selected times were able to be taken. As usual, Jarrod Moroni entertained with an acrobatic
display when past the finish.
