Gary and I made the trip to D&G for the last round of the SMBO 2011 series.
Although we were 2nd in the overall series, we were too far behind 1st to take this years title.
Much to the relief of Gary, it was a 3hr event.
The day weather was a bit overcast, and we'd driven through a few showers on the way down.
We were one of the first teams to set off. I had decided to play it safe this time, to avoid the time penalties we encountered by being late at Wark last month.
The plan was to start of on the Seven Stanes Red route, move onto the Blue route, and pick up a few points on the forest roads before heading back to the start/finish.
All was going to plan, until i miss-read the map. Not only had taken a wrong turn, by the time i'd realised, we had cycled past and missed 50 points. As they were both uphill, we decided to press onwards.
We recoveded well, made it back in time with a respectable score of 270, with no penalties.
This not only gave us 2nd in the event, but 2nd in the overall series.
