Kinder Trial - Sun, 31st Jan - thanks to Andy Howie and his
legions of helpers for another Trial. A bit snowy and icy in places
and some early mist made for a more challenging race than usual.
Tom Brunt and Helene Whitaker were first male and female back.
Here are the
results - please notify
Andy of any gremlins.
Andy says (in his inimitable style) . . .
