BOSS 1 at Killingworth South.
Started raining just before I started, got heavier as rode, stopped when I finished. Was there early to start before the rain but got dragged into a long discussion about mapping issues.
The discussion and then rain didn’t help the motivation or concentration. Rain also didn’t help the riding as it got slippery and the low points filled up with water.
Took number 2 bike as number 1 still at the bike shop. Rain and mud resulted in a bit of chain suck and a few stops to get it out again.
A few missed and wrong turns that probably cost 2 minutes in total and the need to drop a control at the end.
