Ended up breaking out of the tea tent and did a lap on my (new to me) cross bike. It really wasn't all that grippy! I couldn't have puckered any more going down to the rooty drops so got off and walked!!

Pretty happy with 40th place, bearing in mind I had no intention of going out when I left home so had no proper kit and then turned down the loan of a real bike from several people.

I've always said you are a far better rider than you are a tea pourer.

Faster than A Line but more technical (although those steep turns on B seem to catch people out on a regular basis) – not sure they make it clear what the choice is really.

Fixed that for me.

The wind made it very difficult to attempt a decent pour from height. I'll be honest t wasnt my best year. There was a lot of spillage

Agreed about the B line being quicker- twice I missed the tight left after crossing the fire road and rode through quite a stiff tree branch 😅

First lap feeling cocky and knowing I was on a decent time, hit that booter/jump on A line harder than I should as there was a crowd and a camera, somehow saved the resulting mess of a landing where I was sure the trees were going to end my day- lesson was definitely learnt!
