The End 2 End mountain bike race saw a new victor crowned yesterday in the form of local rider Elliot Baxter.
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.
Elliot told us that it was far from plain sailing for him:
