Lovely map and terrain by Brian Gardner.
Got off to a slow start, making a small mistake at #1 and then missing a path to #4. Caught Rob and very slowly started dropping him, but wasn't making any inroads into Alex 4 mins ahead. Started getting very tired after #15 and couldn't shake Nick C as I kept having to stop to read the map on the downs.
Finished 2nd about 4 mins behind Alex. Happy with this ride. Nice course!

Interesting that my GPS track comes within 150m of my bike computer. I also forgot to take the computer off before wheeling it back to the car, so seems like the logger is pretty accurate at 1s intervals.
