I think fair play to Cuchulainn for butting on a great race...!! They have done a huge amount of work on the course and the difference from last year is huge..!!
The course was great, tough climbs, flowey, sketchy bits.....No hike a bike..!!  :) And 300 odd riders.... Well done lads.


Personally i had a much better preformance that the last race, i was able to get in the mix today so im happy with that..! I went into the single track in 3rd, held it for a while but as the climb went on i fell backwards... Still happy enough..!! I think Peter had a really good race, he got away from and i just seen him the odd time after that..!

Great preformance from youn sean in his first NPS, 3rd in S4..!  :)
Another good race from Rose taking 2nd in WS2.... And thanks for not catching me today too  :P

Great to see so many blue shirts out today...!!

Good race today, took a big spill on the first lap.  Bike came of worse :(

Well organised though and the bouncy castle is rapidly becoming a must!  Perhaps I should be on it rather than the bike...

Well done Cuchulainn.  Huge entry.

Ya it was fine on the practice lap....then on the 1st lap a lad just ahead of me was taking the center line so (not giving it enough respect) I decided to take the drop on the left side and didn't pull my front wheel out enough....crash ...bang...Ouch...I choose my line more carefully after that ! But Crash and puncture in lap 3 (thanks to Michelle and Sue for organizing a track pump) aside I was off the pace anyway but happy to be racing on what is the most improved course I have ever ridden......well done Cu Chulainn...there was obviously a savage amount of work done through out the course.  The categories worked v well I thought...well done to all who raced and supported  .... roll on Cork !
