Yeah, well, any course really but that's my first one back in the game.
Last time I rode it my rim valve sticker thingie came loose and I thought I was about to be run over by a train so I spent the descent looking around for what was causing the noise. Then it was wet so I went fairly gingerly through the RABs and then still managed to almost take the wrong exit at the turn. By the time I got back to the up hill finish I was over the 50:02 I'd done the week before and didn't give a shit, then lifted again when riders started to pass me. It was still my 2nd fastest 25mi but it was a pile of shit.
Ok, smash it from the line, recover on the DH... how do I not screw up the turn? and then hammer home.
