The dust, ar-hem mud, is settling from the international, the land of the long white cloud delivered demanding conditions for competitors for the sold-out WRC weekend ending Oct 2nd. Spanning Raglan to Kaipara, there was no escape from the mud, no matter where you went. The contingent trekked & herded, marched & waded, load & …

I hope the men folk had a great Father’s Day yesterday.

Headliner events scheduled leading up into Xmas, now postponed.. Its to no surprise though event postponements are coming quick and fast. Such extreme times warrant …
