A few pics from the kids racing, supporting (with cow bell) and chilling (was snowing as u10's crossed the line) from Sunday !

PS : Davey ur going g8 guns if u keeping pace anywhere near Micko...stage racing must be bringing you on or more likely the training you did to prepare for it is responsible ! Recommend stage race to everyone just for the craic of it but here is clear example of how much it brings you on too !
