Thetford Winter Series 2010/11 Round 4

I did the final round of the Thetford Winter Series, my first taster of this stalwart of the local MTB calendar.

I opted for fully geared in the end, and I'm glad I did! The fourth climb up the double-shocker was a proper thigh-burner! I'm reasonably pleased with 37th (of 131) but now realise I needed to make more of an effort to get past people on the opening fire-road section. The long crawl around the single-track on the 1st lap was pretty frustrating; the 2nd lap was great through, plenty of passing and could flow nicely around the course.
That's my 1st (non-D2D) Thetford race and I thought they'd made a great course. The rain had only mullered one or two sections of single-track and Howes Pit, other than that I thought it was running well.
