Sounds like there was some good racing going on at the weekend. Dunsfold is quite a nice circuit - the sharp left at the bottom of the drag is fun in the wet! The drag used to be littered with potholes. I always seemed to lose water bottles there.
BTW - there's no shame at all in chosing to pack.... especially when the weather has taken a lot of the fun out of the race. In fact, determination to complete races come-what-may seems to be a bit of newcomers thing. If you need or want a bit more training - then fine - but otherwise there's little benefit carrying on in horrendous conditions. Sifting-around at the back of the bunch having a nonchalent chat with your cycling friends before rolling back to the HQ is actually a sign that you have become an uber-cool cyclist.
