Another great DNC at Birsemore. Started high, had a few loops up top and then came down the front of the hill.
Missed 2 in the detailed bit and had to bale to the ride to the south. Came in from the boulder. Clean through 3, 4 and 5 although somewhat hesitant. Caught EH and RH at 5, then SG at 6. Just behind EH at 7, 8 and 9, then repaid the favour at 10, 11 and 12. He disappeared well before 13, then on my own to the finish. Clean also through 14, 15, 16 and 17 descending carefully down the hill. Got confused by the forest monster on the way to 18, but headed for the stream and no problems from there but lost a whole heap of time between second last and the finish.
Pleased with how it went. Such a great place. 3rd behind SC and JM...a long way behind but shared a fastest split with SC - simple pleasures :-)
