12 Minutes To Spare

A no-doubt-about-it win was scored by the Gisborne A team when they won the 13th annual Wairoa to Gisborne relay road race on September 6. Speedy early runs by Solomon, White and File opened up a pronounced gap over the other teams thus giving the group a twelve minute advantage at the end of the race.
