I really enjoyed the Hog Hill layout, although I thought the lap was really short!!
I had a poor start and went from front row back to around 11th/12th.
I pushed through and got back to 6th by the end of the first lap.
Couple more laps and I was battling for 2nd place.
Had an off (pictured) and put my rear mech through my rear wheel, this was at the bottom of the first descent, so we'd only just recently gone passed the pits.
10mins of running later and a lap down, I managed to get my spare bike.
Managed to latch back onto 2nd places wheel, and got back to 9th senior (15th overall)
Really frustrating race for me, as I feel that 2nd was easily within my grasp
