It was a warm day for this race, but the ground underfoot was firm and Buckden Beck was down to a trickle. Young Callum Lambert cycled from Ingleton via Ribblehead and Cam Fell to take part in this race. He easily won it, collected his prize and his cup and then cycled home again. Quite some athlete. Lex Whittaker of Ambleside had a brilliant race to finish second overall and first lady.
It was good seeing some old hands returning to this race such as Colin Valentine, Pete Dugdale and John Thompson.
The Barlickers finished as follows;
14 Robert Cranham 49:50 (2nd M45)
16 Andrew Smith 50:24 (1st M60)
44 Nick Kendall 1:06:04
