That's about it for pictures (of me). Will be some words to go with it at some point.

More pictures from the organisers here:

How did you find the bikes power delivery, now you have the upgrades ? Did it make it easier, or harder to ride the bike in those conditions ?

Didn't answer this after the Ryedale, because it was such atypical conditions I wasn't sure, but having since done the Brechfa under more normal conditions, it's a great improvement in at least a couple of situations...

- Getting out of corners. Can often pull the next gear up without bogging on the apex, so get a lot better drive out of the corner without running out of revs and having to shift while still leant over/drifting.

- A lot of the tight single-track stuff I was able to keep it in third and just 'tickle' it along at low revs, and still be able to give it a quick burst along the straight bits. A bit more controllable than being in second and in the middle of the rev range on slippery stuff, and I think it also made me attack some of the corners/obstacles a bit faster to avoid changing down - if I'd been in second I'd subconsciously let the revs drop right down and be going much slower.

Still struggling to get Ryedale and Brechfa writeups done, but in the meantime, have some video from the Saturday...
