Nice to meet you too.
I've always liked that course, it definitely runs faster/smoother that way round.
I did not have a good day yesterday! Still on the gravel bike as waiting for a chainring for the vitus. Had to change rear pads at the car before the race and the rear was well and truly dragging the whole race. Had zero lever throw, so kept locking up the back brake. Sram hydro brakes are just the shittest thing in the world!
Made a mistake in the 2nd lap which put me at the side of the course trying to untangle tape/stake/bike and get my chain back on. Made some places back, but finished mid pack in a bad mood.
On the plus side, was really enjoying some of the corners and am getting the feel for cross tyres again.
Looking forward to netham.
