Plaxton and Pendrel ace Test of Metal

Neither the storm clouds, the threat of cougars, nor a new gaudy outfit worn by Test of Metal race director Cliff Miller frightened away the crowds from the Test of Metal race. Saturday's main event, the 67km marathon race, saw more than 900 riders on the start line with weather and course conditions ideal for a fast race. Neither the men nor women disappointed with new course records being set in both categories.

On the men's side, Max Plaxton took a minute off his own record that he set last year with a time of 2:30:15. Following Plaxton was Russell Stevenson in second place at 2:35:05 and Kris Sneddon in third with a time of 2:37:07.
