Trying to do a lap of the course. Got complicated as there is a bit at 9km where you get a choice 33m climb in 600m of forest road or the same climb in 270m of single track. When fresh quicker on the single track but 20% over cobbely stuff will not be so easy after 20 hours... Then later on at the end of the course the marking was not out. It gose though a quarry and the quarry was still working friday afternoon so no access yet the alternative was probobly about the same distance but double track with a climb where as the quary has single tranc and hopefully less climb...
A nice lap. Some sharp singletrack corners out the start up the bank above the carpark and back down then some fast flowing stuff although the wet boardwalk may not be nice. A sharp little 18% climb at about 5 km then gentely climbing for a km with just enough space to pass. A short sharp technical rocky and rooty drop before steaper climbing again and a not so technical drop to the 2 choice bit. Then 2 or three km of double track up but with one sharp drop with a junction at the bottom. Then a decent through not much of a track in felled stuff, this may be very quick but it's narrow and if you go off you could be in big trouble. For my lap this was very windy so I was fairly cautious. Finaly there ust be about 1-1.5km that I did not see.
Lap seems longer than advertised I was expecting 13km but did somthing like 15.5 with my finish. The going is quicker than I was expecting though so my lap time on standard going looks like it would be about 52 mins.

Graph as ridden.
As per lap using shorter option.
Time based lap using shorter option but with light levels.
If I have worked out the wattage of the light correctly at these levels I am using too much. Max light was coming at 22.5mph I have increased this to 27.5 which will drop the usage. I will use this and see how well the first battery pack lasts.
