This race was a late inclusion in the South Wales Winter Series, so Winter decided to make a comeback for the day.
A snow flurry on the summit was enjoyed by some and endured by others, but made the rocky terrain a bit slippery and tended to slow race times.

At the sharp end eventual winner Mark Palmer was third to the top but his wily M40 descending skills gave him the edge over promising newcomer Eliot Taylor and Ian Gait in third.

Emma Hitchens had a fine uncontested run over three minutes ahead of Niki Morgan and Clara Evans. Shame she missed too many of the series to challenge Sally Wilder for overall series winner.
