I don't think the R25 is all that.
Very short uphill start and immediately hard left, assuming no traffic, and then most of what you gain on the next stretch is immediately scrubbed-off at the hairpin roundabout.
And what goes down...
Scilly.Suffolk-
What else do I have?
It's my second fastest 25 and there's fuck all chances for me to ride E2 again because I'm away or they're Vets races or ECCA-only.

The turn is further than halfway through. I quite like it as a course, despite not being a naturally gifted descender. Traffic is not normally too bad either.

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."
