The second round of the X – country league last Sunday saw 14 wheelers take on the short ‘n’ fast, sandy course at Woodbridge. The ‘mizzle’ at the start gave the impression we were in for a damp race, but just after the start the sun came out for near perfect run conditions. As the shortest course on the circuit, …
