The 2022 British Cycling National Championships took us to the great venue of Kirroughtree Forest, Dumfries & Galloway.
Saturday
The weather turned Friday night making the course a muddy , wet & slippy one! With non stop rain for the Open/Sport/Expert race it was a bleak slog for the riders with most descents un-rideable for all but the most skilled.

Sunday
After even more rain on Saturday night the course was looking bleak meaning the organisers had to take the executive decision to scrape the top surface off the final descent in a bid to make it more rideable. Thankfully the weather improved on Sunday and the rain ceased causing the course to begin to dry out.
