WESTIES SIMON TRIGGER MEMORIAL HANDICAP
Start Blanefield, along an undulating track for 1.5 miles, turn right to follow a gently rising path then technical trod, a thigh-bursting steep ascent to the summit of Drumgoyne and back again.
I was 2nd last to start, made up quite a few places, Gregor overtook me on the way down Drumgoyne thanks to a very cool line off the top. I tried to stay as relaxed and loose as possible on all descents. Pushed hard on the road. A beautiful evening with stunning views across the Trossachs from the top of the hill.
Felt a bit tired at the start so probably wasn't as race-primed as I would like to be but was able to push hard throughout.
