andy Burgess Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Is this race instead of St Boswells? i would assume so Bob. St Boswell is only 10 mile down the road from us , and the weather at home here was very poor at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
