Better believe it, awesome course and it sounds like they have improved it.  Preregister with Andy Potts to speed things up (see www.spoke.ie for his email address, yes I know a shameless plug) and pray for sun. 

Its rained so much they are out of cats and dogs, its now raining sheep and cows.

I dont think any course can hold up to this weather but due to the nature and layout of that course i dont think there are many places were the water can just sit, so it drains pretty well. I think its one of the best courses around, it was my first race a couple of years ago and ive loved it ever since.

I thought it was a great course too.. It would have been nice to ride it bone dry.

Yeah seems they were optomistic this morning, got another mail from Banbridge, the race is definately off.  Hopefully they can reschedule although not next weekend, I think there is something on.

Pity, was the last race of the season. Hopefully the marathon champs will be a bit dryer.

Andy Potts was on to me, they plan to try to run it before the end of September. 

I think they really tried to run it.  He said they were up taping the course on Saturday but the weather was nuts.  All the downhills had rivers running down them and a car was under water at the exit to Castlewellan itself.
