Well, the rain could be worse, but I think the wind could be a killer.....

Errr cough cough, I did not do it today... Felt like the weather today, shit.. So rather than play hug a tree and ground surf, I gave it a miss...

Hope all went swimmingly Nick

Wet doesn't quite cover it, in some places the bike was up to the hubs in puddles.... And the climb up the water logged field was a killer!!!! But..... was epic, the technicals were right up my alley.
The only real downer of the day was the technical I had with the bike.... My brand new Bontrager Carbon seat post had enough, and snapped 1 mile into my second lap, so pretty much had to run the bits I couldn't stand-up pedal on. Gutted, as I put in a flying first lap....

Ended up 50th overall, so, still happy with that considering. :)

Holy crap, where did you do that?

I broke a carbon post at the danbury race a few years back, but that was much lower down?
