Hey Roy, you back yet? Sorry we didn't get the chance to meet other than about 10 seconds just before the start! Was that you I saw in the resuts who got neutralised before the finish? Bad luck if so;

I really enjoyed the race this year, 18th/467 in age group

. Ol bike held up fine except rear wheel gave up the ghost but thankfully before the race.

What does the map on the frame tell you?

It's got a profile of the course, with markers of distances and altitudes at key points. I had a small GPS with me which was great as although the distance figures announced by the organisers were not entirely accurate, the altitude ones (that I had managed to find from other GPS files of the course shared online) were spot on and I was able to know how much more climbing there was to do at any point ... until the battery died 6hour into the 7.5hour race that is. Bloody GPS.
