Maybe it was faster, I don't know. It felt slow. The turn was pretty controlled, but the chaos ensued as everyone had to jump to catch the leaders.

I think that's a really good turn to practice on because it's sharper (I think) than the corners you'll see in the Grafton crit. Plus you can really work on hammering out of the saddle once you're most of the way through the turn.

It was a 45 or 50 minute +1 crit, IIRC. And I didn't pay much attention to my spedometer (it shut itself off before the race and I didn't notice until halfway through) so I don't really have any speeds for you, Hip.

Sounds like you're on the right track!
