I only saw Colm and Cornelius from IMBRC at the race.
Corney had a bad crash and managed to break his shifter off.
Very poor turnout from most of the Clubs, but there was about 12 from EPIC, 4 or 5 from MAD and 1 from WORC. Pity though, the weather was great and the track was well marked, Aiden McDonald won the Elite race and got a really nice trophy for his efforts

Well Gar,

Colm Finished the race, but could have done better if he didn't have to hang around for me.

I had a wee bit of a fall on as section called ''the black Run'', near the half way mark. Some rider fell in front of me and i tried to avoid him, but was going to fast and the front wheel ended up in a hole and I did my usual Superman flying man pose( hands out front)
Damaged the same shoulder as the collar bone that I've broken twice.
Snapped the front shifters and the handle bars were a little bent.
I carried on for a few Km but it got to sore and was stuck in the middle ring. Got of the mountain and cycled back the road.


At least the sun was out!!!
