I've not raced the Milland Hill circuit before. Having raced it this afternoon, I'm not convinced I'll do so again in a hurry. It's got a section of 25%. We had the pleasure of going up it 9 times. To make finish line judging easier, they thoughtfully put the chequered flag a short distance from the top of the hill.
Long story short - I spent most of the afternoon in a couple of breaks. As I was grovelling up the aforementioned hill for the last time, I was passed by the first 3 riders of the advancing bunch to come in 8th.
One small bonus; 8th place means I should have retained my 2nd cat licence for next season. By then I may have forgotten how unpleasant that hill is and enter the race again.
