Im not going to make this now >:(
Probably for the better as my legs are still aching from the weekend and could do with the break

Mr Excuses striles again..!! ::)

Went wake boarding (http://wakedock.ie/) last night as part of a stag and twinged a muscle in leg.....so there's a unique sort of excuse should I have to pull out ....but I reckon I'll be good to go in any case !

ya is a brill trail in the dry but its been a while since I've ridden it that way....can't be as mucky as last year but always a good course as long as you can stay on course !

Best of luck to everyone heading up tomorrow

Fair play lads and hope the weather holds out

That was a very enjoyable race. The weather brightened up after midday and the trails were super. Great to see the turnout from the club so well done folks. Special mention for Jim who came 2nd in Masters and 7th overall. Robin Seymour from WORC came 1st at a new record time of 2hrs 42mins - That's over 1hr faster than me! - and I was told he did it on his old Giant Trance!
-
Well done to everyone who took part..! Great result Jim 8)
Fair play to the few lads doing if for the first time..!
Robin is the man to beat..! Doesnt matter what bike you put him on, he will still be on the top step at the end.. Some talent.!

Great day out as usual.
Felt harder this year probably because I had a single ring set up but overall went ok and felt good enough. The weather didn't look great on the way up and before starting the mountains were covered. Visibility wasn't great at the mast but soon cleared, it even brightened up after - I had no rain at all the whole time I was on the bike.
Was in a group of 6 until the mast but it broke up a bit after that so twas a bit harder to pace. Happy enough with how I finished - moved up a few places from last year to get 7th overall and 2nd masters also managed to do it faster than last year. The hot shower and curry after hit the spot.
Everyone I spoke to from the club enjoyed the day and there was no disaster stories.
Thanks to Dave Askin for the lift up and Colm who got me back to Drogheda for the few scoops after.
