Brilliant sunshine and blue sky greeted us at this pleasant municipal park. This venue is becoming established in the annual XC Calander and provides a challenging course, gently undulating for the most part with a stiff climb that spirals up to a high point at the back of the loop. Although conditions were slightly heavier than recent seasons, it was still good going for the most part with just a few 'sticky' stretches to contend with. As well as the sound of parakeets as we raced around, a few of us definitely heard a lone bagpiper too! Congratulations to everybody who took part and represented HRR at this regional event. (Editor's note: there was no breakdown by vet categories. This will be done when points are allocated for the club XC championships.) |
