ay I was racing. 2hr male. I loved it looking back now. Just my sort of course really, tough but really *flowing* in places. My back hurts loads now though, also my knee where I think I knee’d my forks.
Great race though. In the end I came 35th 4 laps 2hrs 12.
It was a nightmare at the start everyone was crashing. I must have rode past about 3 crashes in the first 100m my race alone. That first corner was horrendous really super wide to 1/4 of the width was alsways gonna cause problems.
Oh and the guys tyre didnt burst he tacoed his front wheel snapped clean in half. I cant believe he still carried on I would have probably gone home grumbling, all credit to him to get back up.
And yes 29ers are stupidly slow around thetford due to all the single track. My mate has one and he finds it tough work.
