• I've only driven along it, but it's easy to go off-piste: several exits.

    Not all it's cracked-up to be, unless the weather is with you.

    PS The New Inn looks decent. Not that I'd know, only having crossed the country and back in a fucking day without so much as a pint and a bag of pork scratchings to show for it.

  • Yeah, well it's 2hr drive to E2 vs 3-3.5 for R25 but there's double the amount of races that I can actually make on the Welsh course this year it seems.

    Currently...

    E2 - 50:02, 5th place
    R25 - 51:17, 11th place

    Race notes for E2/25 (clearly didn't give a fuck):
    "(PB, new Willesden club record, 5th overall)"

    My race notes from WKO for R25:
    "Valve cover flapped open and messed with me until it ripped off on the descent.

    Turns were all taken very easy due to wet from much rain and not knowing course too well. Almost took a service road on the outbound RAB.

    Cross headwind and slight uphill on return plus going past PB time meant I'd lost much motivation until riders went past and I lifted."
