Laurika Hazelhurst was the fastest Whanganui woman, finishing in 5h 17m, while Clint Black should be commended as his 5h 45m time came just a week after he competed in the Queenstown Marathon.
Amongst the other categories, Glenn Haden entered the shorter classic race and finished 12th overall in 3h 43m, which was only four minutes behind the winner and ahead of a number of quality riders from New Zealand and England.
In the Huka XL race, Brent Bismark competed his ride in 4h 24m, which saw him come second in the 40-49 age group.
