Elliot Baxter wins End 2 End race

In tough conditions Elliot managed to complete the 46 mile course in just under 3 hours 20, beating usual winner Nick Craig into second place.

1,700 riders took place in the challenge, battling against muddy conditions and a change to the course with two climbs replaced.

Multiple winner Nick had to contend with a puncture and eventually had to wheel his bike over the finish line.

Under 23’s rider Edward Perry came in third place.
