I rode the BDCA 25 as expected, like it was a 30, by taken the wrong exit and doing a u-turn at almost every RAB
Bad luck - a long way to go to get lost!
If it helps, the only time I rode the A50 course I started by going wrong at the very first roundabout, about 10 seconds after starting. I missed the sharp left, as I couldn't believe it was that sharp, and did a bonus lap of the RAB to catch it second time round.

I went into it knowing I was going to be sub-par so it was basically race-pace testing of my near gearing setup, which worked well. We then did a pub crawl and explored the Peak District a bit so it wasn't a bad trip :)
That sharp left, yep, that's where my race went downhill from. 400W -> 0W -> 500W #propacing
hippy
I rode the BDCA 25 as expected, like it was a 30, by taken the wrong exit and doing a u-turn at almost every RAB. It was a glorious display of my old time trialing self. When #60 went past me (I'm #75) and then went a different direction I just sat up and shrugged at the marshal. Classic lost hippy.
