Title: NPS 4 Maghermorne
Post by: Paul on May 24, 2010, 12:53:42 PM

Well that was tough race in the heat...! I always enjoy that course, just not the 6 hours in the car...

Thanks to Sue, Michelle, Lisa, Phillip and the rest of the pit crew for a great job and support as usual  :)

Some great results for the club with Kev & Rob making it a one two in masters...James taking 2nd in Elites and Rose winning the womens race. Another good showing by Tadhg coming 4th in experts.... Good results all round by the griffin bros..!!

I love that bomb hole makes the whole course, next year they should get a red bull arch and have a competition for the highest air!  Well done everyone, IMBRC is kicking some ass at the NPS Races.

They had a laptop not sure what's holding up the results.

What a course.. :) .....rode it b4 but it was so much better yesterday....everything from the dust clouds at the beginning as everyone raced to get a position for the singletrack, the flow of the course ... getting some air at the bomb hole and the red clay near the bridge which made it feel like i was abroad somewhere...they even put a little river crossing in to cool down warm feet..... Very well organized ....Shower's and tea and sambos after were great ...well done Team Madigan ..class race !
Thanks Sue for the much needed bottles and Richie for doing MC.

Would like to see the results though ...as have got used to the recent immediate posting of them !

Results are up on http://www.irishxcmtb.com/

Seems Tadhg is now 3rd in expert and not 4th as was the result after the race... and rose is not listed.
I know most of the womens field went the wrong way so they must have all be DQ...?
