Supermasters category 16th out of 18. Bloody fast guys there. On Sports male cat (which I could've done) I'd have been 15th out of 31. The course was really demanding, not very technical and with superb bits of singletrack. I crashed at the end of third lap (did 4) and lost more than 1 minute. I hit one cut tree with my left pedal and lost control and fell but no damage fortunately. No mud at all, good atmosphere, loads of riders well spreaded, at least during my race, perfect organization, stands, sunny weather...it couldn't be better. Oh yes, it could! My rear rotor was rubbing the pads and there's no easy solution to that after talking to one of the mechanic guys.

I met Chris before I left. Nice to see you!

Good to see you Javi.

The course was the least technical gorrick Ive ridden and I knew all the trails from riding swinley reguarly with the locals. Course seemed shorter than previous round but it was a hot day. I rode 3 laps in the time it took Javi to do 4 and the winner off my category lapped me just before the end of my 2nd lap (same as rd2). 3rd lap, rode the corkscrew twice and stopped for a few minutes while the quick race went by.

Looking at Javi's map, was 6.5km a lap.

You did the corkscrew in 21secs :shock: :crazy: :thumbup: :clap:
