    No major climbs, long drag up to the start finish from the final turn. Start finish is in the wrong place in this segment, as far as I remember its up by the first left turn per this segments start point.

    Yeah just didn't see the gravel. My own fault. A lot of road rash and hit my elbow pretty hard. Pretty sure nothings broke. Just pretty disappointed. Always next week I suppose.

    Des Hanlon more than likely. Heard they chopped up some of the course and cut out one of the climbs or something to that effect.

    Looked like nasty spill, hope you're alright.

    Really enjoyed the race, nice circuit. Nobody was getting away with the headwind on the final run in to the finish.

    Spot on great circuit abit hairy early doors with the big group taught the motorbike marshal done a great job sorting things out at times but no opportunity to get up the road today the A2 race seemed to end the same way

    Well done. Surely your first ever race is worth a nice detailed report for me to read over coffee later after I put the kids to bed.
