Title: IDMS Round 1
Post by: Jimmy Mr Excuses on March 06, 2015, 09:24:25 PM

Best of luck to Tayto who is flying the flag for round one on Sunday in Carlingford. The Jared Graves of Irish MTB. Keep her lit kid and between the trees ;)

Well, so that was eventful. Tough track that seemed to change every run. Binned it in the seeding run due to the arrival of a few new roots. Didn't matter anyway as the times weren't available. There was a lot of messing around with the timing but didn't think it would turn out the way it did. After lots of hanging around I did my race run. Was over the moon with how it went but that also didn't matter because when I went to find out my time it wasn't available either. We didn't find this out until about 5.30 after some more hanging around. I got home at 7pm after leaving the house at 8am. Needless to say I'm not a happy camper and as far as I'm concerned that'll be the last downhill I do.

Fair play for heading up Paul,
I'd be pissed too but i'd expect them too get it sorted by next round, dont write yourself of from future events just yet.

Thats shouldnt happen.! There should be a backup. DH is a time based sport event, so timing is crucial to the event.

We always have backup for our races and even the club league.

Having said that, its not that long ago we didnt always get times or even positions in NPS races outside the top 3
