Plymouth South is my Favorite course.
They made some really nice changes this year and it still suited me really well. The worn out fangos hooked up beautifully today, unlike yesterday, I had legs today.
And i was kicking myself all the way home. A corner cycle guy got past me on the last lap after the barriers. I got hooked on the saddle and nearly had a face full of barriers and that adrenaline surge from the panic and save gave him the chance to jump around. I got on his wheel when we hit the pavement but the energy it took to get on his wheel by then left me with no sprint. And I thought: "just roll in, you've beaten GCD, it was a good race." And it was all good till i saw the results. Wait WTF? 11th? I could have had 10th? Self ass kicking began. Only about 3 min behind Kevin Hines and Sam Morse.
A real write up for both days will be coming along. 11th out of 26th or something today (sunday) and 9th out of 15 on saturday. Sunday was such a better race for me. I lost well over a minute more than normal on the first lap saturday just from tire slipping/lack of traction. But the folks running Rhynos and Cubus tires were slipping out in the same spots, so well that made me feel better.
Awesome weekend racing. Just awesome.

The laps times in the 35+ were pretty fast. Nice ride. Gewilli brings his A game: In to a Lam, out like a lion... heh-heh, you are never going to live that down.
I think the CC guy had an issue the first lap and was slicing his way through the field, so don't feel bad.
Yeah, you were crazy strong on that course. Great ride.
Solo looked good too. I couldn't hold his wheel, then again, I didn't hold anyone's.
That is a good course, I wish the fields were bigger to enjoy it all.
You looked great going up the hill!
I liked the new course better too, though I can't figure out how much they changed:
*better barrier placement?
*added sand to the drumlin?
*less convoluted turns at the start?
*the short hill with the tires on it had a much easier line.
Anything else?
That is maybe in my top 3 favorite courses - day 2 providence and last year's Stedmans also up there.
