The third year of the season-long Black Grace Cowley cycling league again proved extremely popular to both on and off-road competitors.
The local independent estate agency has been a long-term supporter of Manx cycling and this competition recognises the all-round ability of racing cyclists as it encompasses massed start road racing, individual road time trials and mountain biking.
Competitors take their best five points scores from the nine counting events.
This year, Robin Garry successfully defended the overall title with a clear 50-point advantage over the vastly improved Andrew Jones and top junior Owen Dudley.
Dudley and Jones completed the competition tied on 420 points, but a second-place finish in the Penrice 25 gave Jones the runner-up spot on countback.
Consolation for Dudley was that he also took the junior male honours.
There were seven different winners during the series, with Robin Garry and Tom Mazzone grabbing two wins apiece.
UK-based Mazzone won both of his races on rare trips home, and therefore did not feature in the overall.
The same applied to Sky professional Peter Kennaugh, who won the Fred Kelly Road Race, which was his only competitive island outing other than the Manx International in April.
The cancellation of several cross-country mountain bike counting events compromised the challenge of the off-road specialists, and the top-placed rider from MTB was Neil Morrison in seventh place. A commendable achievement in his first full season of competition.
Mark Harrison, in fourth place overall, topped the over-40 veterans class after a close battle with Gianni Epifani and Gary Johnson.
Juan Kinley was the best of the 0ver-50s and Harry Cain the leading male juvenile.
In the female classes, Kate Priest came out on top ahead of Lizzie Holden and Emily Looker, with Sally Walker the top veteran. The junior title went to Tara Ferguson, with Amelia Sharpe winning the juvenile class.
