Post by: Joe J on February 12, 2017, 09:26:49 PM: That was though start to the race season! first lap was a shock to the system, recovered a bit for the 2nd lap and enjoyed it more, top of the course was challenging with a few inches of snow under foot and driving snow + wind trying to blow you off the bike.
Great result Patrick 18th out of 89!(great to see ur family out in support in that weather!)
Myself Stuart and ED had a great dice on last lap
Never enjoyed a hot coffee and shower as much as I did after that!!
Rool on next sat (Gale force Dublin endurance race). Hope weather is a bit better
Joe

Post by: BrianCrinion on February 13, 2017, 11:11:45 AM: Fun conditions out there yesterday. Felt more like a muddy CX race in the deeper snow sections. Plus Santini has shamed me into moving on from the baggy shorts to the pro for Ticknock.

Post by: capnsantini on February 13, 2017, 10:05:58 PM: About time Crinion!

A definite highlight was a crazed Pawel giving it all for the IMBRC team as a super supporter. Who else would go stand at the top of a mountain in a blizzard to cheer us on - Kudos!
