45.864km with 934m climb in 2:01:16. Somerset mtbo. Teign valley new to me but really nice. Tricky route selection problem with steep sided valley and flags on both sides of river but limited crossing points. Down into the valley via 1, 13 an out and back on other side where track proved very fast. Back to near side and up and down for 11, 24, 26 back across and out and back again for 22 across the river. Now the middle bit of river with controls only on south side. Climbed and got tricky 21 back down to river for 15 and the clever move of leaving the other 2 high ones and high tailing it up the fast river tack for18, 10 and around the end loop clockwise 27, 23 relay nice climb with views down valley to 4 nice single track descent to 19. Back to bridge over river and climb back up via 16 which I had missed before. Time looking a bit tight so ignored 17 and out on road to the loop over the moor of 5, 20, 9. Time tight now but knew the route via 2 had no serious climbs and was mostly down. Pushed on well over the rollers for just under 2 mins late.

50 odd points clear of Ian so a good win. He did the extra climb of doing the middle ones straight away and had trouble finding 10.
