Firstly you must thank Tony for this report, after pulling my name out last

...This was nearly my first Woodstock 12. Instead, with the race shortened due to the extreme heat, it became everyone's first Woodstock 8.
...This race, which takes in the picturesque Cotswold countryside, has been going for over 30 years.
