DESPITE the worsening conditions at a rain soaked Barroca, Portugal, event riders Patricia Ryan, Michelle Kenny and Aoife Clark completed the tour with a string of good results.

The consistent Ryan and her team hope Dunrath Eclipse consolidated their form to fill the runner-up spot in the CIC3* and although the long format CCI3* was beset by weather related withdrawals, Kenny and RLE Aspe produced a steady run to take eighth.
