Enduro / Marshals call for Enduro World Series

« on: May 18, 2017, 10:17:44 PM »

Hey All, 

This is an urgent appeal for marshals for the Enduro World Series taking place from the 26th to the 28th of May in Glenealy Co. Wicklow.  

The stage is set for another EWS epic, perhaps the biggest yet! The trails are taped, the rider lists have been finalised and the crowds will surely come in their thousands once again. 

All of this hinges on one thing and it's the same all around the world. We need the support of the Irish Mountain Bike Community at large to get involved and be part of the action! 

As it stands we are short the following number of marshals. 
Friday - 16 
Saturday - 21
Sunday - 27

Can you please circulate this to your riding pals / club members with discretion? Ideally Tuesday lunchtime is our deadline for finalising the marshal lists.

Please email kevin@biking.ie with name, contact number and availability (FRI, SAT, SUN).

Looking forward to hearing from you one way or another. If you have any questions please give me a call 0874176029.

Regards
Niall

General Discussion / Cycling Ireland Hall of Fame Proposals 2016

« on: September 20, 2016, 06:59:53 PM »

Dear Official,

The Cycling Ireland Board recently decided that it would consider new nominations for its Hall of Fame every 3 years. The current list of Hall of Fame Members can be seen at: http://www.cyclingireland.ie/page/about/hall-of-fame

Nominations and selection will be by way of nominations from Clubs or Provinces. Each new intake will have a maximum of up to 3 inductees. Any individuals previously nominated must be re-nominated for the new intake.

A 3-person Board-appointed ad-hoc group will assess nominations and make nominations to the Board. The Board will have final say on those to be inducted. Should anyone on the ad-hoc group be nominated, they will immediately step down from the group, to be replaced by an appointee of the Board.

Acceptance of nominations for the Cycling Ireland Hall of Fame will be taken up until October 7th.

Nominations can be submitted by entering details https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TXLNHNG?utm_source=Circulator&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Cycling%20Ireland%20Hall%20of%20Fame%20Proposals%202016

Regards,
The Cycling Ireland Team

Course was a bit of an ice rink today, at least it didn't rain.

Good battle with Joe until the last lap when he put the hammer down and used his superior mud surfing skills

Certainly worth the trip.
It was a challenging course, very bumpy with lots of roots, rocks and bumpy downhill sections.
Reminded me a bit of Racing 795's course in Bunclody.

Great weather today for racing, I think it made the suffering a bit easier 

Well done to the Katie, David on their podiums in their under age categories and Brian Crinion in the Baggy Shorts.

Paul, hope the body isn't huting too much after your fall, fair play for finishing it.
