Finsbury Park CC 10, 18/04/15

[Jon H]

Another Spoco SE event, and probably the hilliest and slowest 10 I've ever done.
I hadn't ridden this course (F7B/10) before, round the lanes near Potter's Bar, so left plenty of time (or so I thought) to get there and do a recce. However Saturday afternoon traffic meant I arrived at the HQ 45mins before my start time, so didn't get chance for the recce after all.

So, in summary, lots of up and down, lots of twists and turns, and a couple of blind righthand turns where you'd have to almost come to a standstill if you didn't trust the marshalls telling you it's all clear. A recce of the course would definitely have been a good idea. And in traditional sadistic hilly course tradition, the longest steepest hill came shortly before the finish.

28:41 for me, and only one rider got under 24 minutes.
