Post by: DaveyD on February 15, 2015, 08:13:52 PM: Great turn out today by the club really enjoyed that course, always a great venue to visit.
The young lads were on top form too, Emmet, Adam & Ryan getting podiums and "Big Red" Anto Quinn playing a stormer to take second place in the super pro 8) race.... Savages

My race went well I thought, Being late for the start mixed things up a bit and then a puncture very early in made me loose alot of places but fininshed in 2hrs just behind Matt so was happy enough.

Well done to everyone who made the trip down, and thanks to Paul for stopping with the tyre levers :-[ (I snapped my own... its the guns!)

Post by: Flathout on February 15, 2015, 09:45:22 PM: Yeah great day out. Really enjoyed it. Well done to all.

I finished just under 2 hrs... Late for the start and then had to stop and tighten my handlebars half way through! Still happy though.

Post by: Paul on February 15, 2015, 09:58:37 PM: Great day out..! The weather held off too :) Course was great, plenty of grip.

Well done to all the young lads showing the way and Big Red taking 2nd in the super pro.!

Myself, matt, leo and davey all missed the start so put us on the back foot. Actually looking at my garmin, they started a couple of mins early.

I had a good race and made up alot of places on the downhills... Was aiming for 2 hours but didnt quite make it.

Well done to matt, davey, leo and Micko who was 4th is super pro
