Mildura CC Invitation
1st May, 2016

5 groups comprising 21 riders would start the race with a 25 minute gap between the first and final group over what would prove to be an extremely challenging 50km course. The strong Westerly wind would make the first half of the race extremely fast with the pace too great for some as groups started to fracture on the way out. The scratch group containing Benson, Stevens and Dawson were making good progress at the half way mark averaging in excess of 46kmh. However, the race would prove to be a tale of two halves as the final 23km would be into a strong head wind. Benson immediately powered away from Stevens and Dawson at the turn around and would not be seen again until the finish line. All groups were caught by Benson who would cross the line at an average speed of 38.2kmh ahead of 2nd and 3rd place getters, O’Brien and Ylia.
