Glad to disregard @Howard 's advice and not ride Elites today as I was barely competitive in Experts. First lap I was stuck in a remarkably polite queue to ride a couple of bombholes for a good 40 seconds and then my lap times fell off pretty badly after riding for an hour. Two decent laps in the middle somewhere.
I need to get better at overtaking on singletrack. I'm used to cyclocross where overtaking oppurtunities are frequent. I also need better, lighter, faster, tyres. What's good and wide and seals up okay?
