You would think I'd do better in the area with more trails, but maybe it was the slightly bigger hills that made a difference. Very clean except - at 3 I came into it left, and for some reason thought I was right of it instead (based on where I saw deadfall) so a little bobble there. Used trail-road-trail to the right route from 7-8, which may not have been that advantageous, but I just didn't feel like doing up and down through the woods there.
Overall a very good, fun, and confidence building weekend! I loved how nice the majority of the woods were too - no rock, no thorns, no pushing through green stuff.
