Post by: DaveyD on February 05, 2013, 10:54:38 PM: Tough course alright, I'm not sure how it compares to two laps of the stoe in elevation tough. I'd expect it to be similar. Well worth the trip down, the showers are what make that place top notch, fabulous setup altogether.

There is prob a few going down so if you are stuck for a lift, ask on the forum and someone will have a place.. Especially you juniors.!

Post by: S.Feeney on February 17, 2013, 07:54:04 PM: Once again impressive racing from everyone today lads, especially Craig, Jim and The Quinns.
Demanding course in spots which locked out my forks half way round.
Hopefully get the use of my hands back in a few days :o

Post by: DaveyD on February 17, 2013, 09:25:18 PM: Great day out again for the club, Four of our six Youth riders racing today got podiums. Anto ran away with the Junior and baggy shorts cat, on fire that lad, and younger brother Johnny got 1st in U14 Ryan also got a top ten I in same cat, which must have had 20 riders. Adam McGarr got second in U12's while David Came 4th in U10's. John Smithers also came 2nd in U16's.
A few savages on the way up there.

Craig, Joe and Jim were flying as usual with Sean not to far behind.
Great race, crazy start... about 100m to first bit of single track in which Craig was taking no prisoners ;D If you feel like you need any pointers on how to get through a group, talk to Craig.... I'll say no more :-X

Heres some of my usual out of focus photos :-[

Post by: Colt Seavers on February 18, 2013, 01:40:10 PM: TEAM WORK PAUL. >:(
Myself and leo set the pace into the first trail to get Craig and the lads in the mix. must of burnt myself out too early :'( ;)
Moved over to let craig past and that was the last I seen of him. Great turn out from the club with some great results all round.
Not my best race but glad to have finished. some crack again on the final run in to the finish line, wheel to wheel pushing hard but just couldn't get the jump out of the final corner.
Slower than last year but sure what the heck, theres always next year :)
