A notable hazard-maker was a tricky icy patch atop the first hill.
Post-competition, competitors enjoyed hot drinks and treats from the Bake Off competition table.
The sausage rolls were the top pick among the snackers.
In terms of competition results, four athletes stood out for finishing impressively close to their predicted times.
Jurgita Bates came first, surprised herself just ten seconds off her predicted time.
Second was Jack Elton-Waters, 27 seconds out, third David Anderson, 35 seconds out, and fourth Paddy Condy, 37 seconds out.
New chair Lucy Doorly arrived to cheer everyone home after travelling 24 hours back from Asia.
Special recognition also went to the volunteers and marshals who managed the event.
The winter series continues in Cowes on February 8, with another 'biscuit'-themed Bake Off.
