@ndthornton are to sure you meant stage 3 was dangerous? After stage 1 then stage 3 was by far the easiest.
Stages 2 & 6 were the most technical IMO. After a few crashes during practice my hopes of a steady mid pack finish changed to make it round safe and clean on race day. I just about managed that as the trails had dried out quite a bit overnight, I still had a few moments but it was a really good challenge to try and hit some of the technical sections at speed.
Having to do the same push up 3 times during the loop was a bit annoying but the pre event description did say expect steep push ups so no complaints there.
All in I thought it was a good weekend, well organised and big thanks to all the marshalls and people who give up their time to make events like this work smoothly.
