Race Report 6 December 2014

What was potentially going to be our first wet race this season, didn’t eventuate. The only moisture experienced by about 40 die- hard Twinnies members was from the water in the pool, the spray off the remaining wet roads and the sweat from the 98% humidity on the run. In fact, other than the wet road conditions it was almost the perfect racing conditions, cool and no wind.
