For those traveling down the race Senior 1/2/3 races is starting at the later time of 2pm.  Daft idea something that a committee man like Paul would come up with and vote for!
I do gap jumps, Sam Hill does gap jumps, we have a lot in common!

Did anyone NOT like that course today...!! What a brilliant and enjoyable loop..!! :)

The lads have done wonders with that place over the last 2 years and that was the best condition yet.!!
The rain held off so it was bone dry and flowly once you got over climb at the start.

Personally i had a bad start again while trying to get up the front on the start line it closed in on me and i found myself nearer the back, and with 70 odd riders thats not the place to be..! Then got caught up in a bit of crash in the grass....so was a bit back in the single track with a line of riders in front and no where to pass....got them all by the end of the lap so had a clear track for the next too  :)
Another great race from Glen in 5th, Greg, Davey, Laco and Micky C all in S3

Really enjoyed it, and the chicken curry at the end topped off a great day..! Well done to the lads Cuchulainn CC for another great event.

Great days racing, they have a brilliant setup up there I was really impressed. Course wise, it was nice and fast not really technical bar 1 or 2 short sections. Overall it was a great day out and pleased with my result, where ever it was.

Who ever voted for that bloody 2 oclock start time should be made go to a youth race and then hang around all day for the senior race, God dam Dimwits... If it had of rained I think I would have headed home I was freezing by the time time i got on my bike.
life is too short to go through that again.

Anyway well done Chuculainn Brilliant day out.

Dont know about that Davey....I think the fact we were going so fast it brought in the element of risk on some of the little tricky sections....i seen plenty of people have trouble with them and some on the deck...It you got it wrong, it would hurt at that speed  and you'd loose several places :D

Great race today. Started near the back and pretty much stayed there for the full race
Struggled on laps 2 and 3. Loved the track. Roll on next year and I'll try a bit harder  :)
Thanks lads for a really great day.
If you want it, I can get it...!!

Cool course, I really liked all those ride-able but tricky bits. Cool drops, bearms and table-tops, you don't get those often in a race. After 2 yrs without a proper race I couldn't keep any sort of pace though, roll on the club league and NPS 3!

Great job by Cuchullainn, I didn't have any curry but curry at a race is impressive and the best/biggest road signage I've ever seen!

I have very little time to get to the gym, so I have to sculpt my guns at the office
