cheat code:
Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right A B Select Start



The course is almost all false-flat, around 1% - 2%. Pretty hard to get dropped on that profile. The finish is 100m steep uphill, maybe 7% - 8%.

Just jump into the draft, It's pretty easy to sit on the back of the grade above.

It's a handicap though :( ... you have to work all the way to the end. Should be good training though.

I haven't worked out if it's a handicap or a scratch. Looks like they've listed a scratch for the higher grades and handicap for the lower grades. Higher grades are doing an extra lap. Weird.

Ooops. Opposite to what I thought. So it's a handicap for higher grades then... and it looks like MC have the option of doing one or the other?!

This course hardly fills me with enthusiasm. Did it a few months ago and our group was just Potholes, Matty Meisel-Dennis, Bill Lind and myself. I think C grade had 20-25 riders and we put about 10secs into them per lap. Fun!
