It's not the cobbles up the hill that are dangerous in the wet, its the sharp right hander just before the cobbles. Slick as a slick thing and immediately after a fast descent. Culls the herd for the first few laps
'tis my home town, and I like to stroll down to watch the race each year.

That's exactly what i meant. The turn before the rise. Hellish.It's not the cobbles up the hill that are dangerous in the wet, its the sharp right hander just before the cobbles. Slick as a slick thing and immediately after a fast descent. Culls the herd for the first few laps

Slightly OT:
Aye - the Tour Series race in Kirkcaldy caught us by surprise too - maybe those Fifers want to keep it to themselves ! 
They could work on their publicity a bit ...
Loved the intro to the Kirkcaldy race, where they talk about the area - which, in 'Kirkcaldy speak' includes St Andrews, the whole East Neuk and N Queensferry ... not most people's thoughts when 'Kirkcaldy' is mentioned !

Spweaking to someone who was (working) at Kirkcaldy, it was more than a bit chilly on the seafront, as he said, heaving barriers was quite good for keeping warm. Then said Durham was even chillier, once the sun dropped and the shadows were unheated by solar power! Races looked very good though, I was at Durham a couple of years back and the thought of a wet race made me wonder, then an interesting comment from a rider, that it would be safer in the wet as everyone would go easier into the dreaded corner near the brdge, where the right turn on to the climb is, which I had wondered about.
It's still a difficult circuit though, and being hit by a 300 metre cobbled climb every couple of minutes is no-one's idea of a fun evening!

10pm is a bit late, last year it was shown about 8pm, I think.
