Watching the British Champs on top of the Tumble, I decided to head back down into Abergavenny to see the end of the race. Spectators had started to go down in their cars, and I got caught behind a few on the steep parts so was constantly braking. I could smell burning but I don't know if it was coming from the cars' brakes or mine. Halfway down I decided that the heat from friction must be reaching dangerous levels and a good idea would be to stop. I've felt warm rims from braking before but these were burning hot.
