I enjoyed that. Got a good start (please can all starts be uphill like that, it spreads the field out really quickly) and was moving up nicely in the first couple of laps. Slightly over did it on the second lap though and had to ease off slightly to recover, which allowed a couple of people to get back past me, but was very consistent in my lap times after that and still had something left in the tank on the last lap where I almost caught the two riders in front of me.
Don't know what PSI I was running in my rear tyre but I thought it was flat at one point, got loads of grip in the mud but the farmyard section was interesting.
Bad luck on the mech hanger, Michael. That's a rotten introduction to muddy cross races.
Thanks.
