Sat 4th of Aug, 2012 course just the same, No cutbacks here.
The course length and race format will be same 11.2k as 2011. But under the Croke Park agreement we have negotiated 100% more flow. In a special sitting the capital budget was extended to alow us to bring in the diggers and stone. Ohh the flowwww!!!!
Both The Half Bull 6 hour and the original Full Bull 12hr are back retaining their winning format for 2012.
The Full Bull starts at 7:30am, as it gets a bit dark in the woods towards 8pm. Camping is availalbe on-site, with the bbq and bonfire to celebrate on the Saturday night.
The Half Bull will be on the same course as the 12hr with the same format except for a 1.30pm start. Finish time is 7.30pm same as the main race.
See link below for more details and online sign-on.

Well done Lads, that must have been painfull. I was only up the road in cavan and the sun was splitting the skies all day long. Crazy.
-
Yep it was slomp but as I always say we live n a damp s***hole aint nothing we can do about it. Felt good finishing especially as they hand you a beer as you cross the line. Nice touch. :)
-
Well done lads

Well done lads....sounds like a fair slog..!!

I didnt know someone else from the club was even there sorry I didnt bump into ya Jimmy.
For me it wasnt really a mtb race more of a suffer contest and I loved it, in fact the worse it got the more i enjoyed it, the more people I saw give up the more energy I had to go on, the more mechanicals I saw the more I appreciated my bike still workingish.
I was down to two gears big ring at the back and granny&middle on the front. To change gear i pedaled half a rotation forward until it locked up then pedaled backwards half a rotation to clear it ...then she was good to go, brakes rubbed all the way, tyre threads were buried so I was riding/sliding slick muck balls, whole bike weighed as much as a horse. The corn field was another challenge that corn wrapped itself up into everything, jockey wheels,hubs, BB,pedals,into the brakes. There was a hose just before the corn field so you had a clean bike for 5 mins though :D.
I set up my marquee the night before and race day we were allowed park the cars beside our pit which was brilliant, didnt have to carry a load of stuff around or leave anything expensive unattended.I even got a small nap in..in the comfort of the car ;D
I had 4 laps done when the 6hr started and just about pulled another 3 out of the bag after.
The weather turned for the second half into a lovely sunny day and there was a lot more smiley faces to be seen.
Last year conditions were perfect, this year it was more challenging which is what people who sign up for this are looking for.
Well done to anyone who looked out the window sat morning to see the downpour and still went to the race.
This concludes my report. :)
