Road works are planned with a road closure between Oxton and Lowdham. However, I don't think it is due until tomorrow - so we may be OK.
If we can't use Oxton Island we can shorten the event and finish opposite the start. I will be going round the course before the start (as I do every week).
Fingers crossed!
Signs said the road would be closed tonight from 7 p.m. so we shortened the course to 8.8 miles missing Oxton Island. Road didn't close though!
It was hot! Giles just beat Gisli. I'll proportion the handicap for the shorter distance later.
