Icy Waters Ltd Race Day - Results!!

An unpredicted temp drop to -19'C at 7.45am, led to a -14'C start about 11am this morning for the 21 team turn-out. However a blustery breeze and glorious sunshine soon brought the temperature up. A little snow overnight allowed for at least controlled edging round the corners but the moguls caused everyone trouble, the best way to treat them seemed to be to simply hang on!

Saturday night saw another 4 x4 truck enthusiast drive past and ignore the "No Wheeled Vehicles" City By-law sign and proceed to chew the Kids and Pet Dog 5km loop to pieces. Those races were shortened to 4 km and went off without a further hitch. Why does the City bother making By-laws it won't enforce?
