If that was the race, then it wasn't the Breckland course. That race was on the B100/9, the Fakenham course, and the Breckland 100 course is the B100/4. I've never ridden the B100/9, but I understand it's challengingly sporting rather than a DC dragstrip like the 100/4. The B100/4 was the course where Marcin Bialoblocki set the current 100 comp record last year. He was only 3/4 of an hour faster than me.

I just assumed anything with a B in front meant Breckland. They seem to be run by the same club. Yeah, it wasn't a fast course. I PB'd on it even with the weather but that was in the early days when I was still racing 100s in sneakers...

I'd assumed breckland was the best course now too. Never ridden it, but the North Norfolk wheelers is a very different course. It was a long way to go to do my slowest ever 100.
was really hot the year I did it, took 4 bottles but still needed more on the last lap.
main things I remember are that it was really hilly, and the pusher offer didn't hold my bike, just leant his shoulder against me. I released my brakes 5 seconds before I started, as I always do. The start is slightly down hill, so I started rolling forwards and was over the line when the starter said go. I rode round expecting I might be dq'd. By the end I was hoping I would be!
