GPS ROUTE Now Available to download


Max posted a route profile on FB I'll copy it up here later, there are some climbs that should be noted  
75k and >2000m climbing, but over two laps which I must say I prefer than one big loop.

Is anyone going and have a spare place in car for me ? Can't really decide give it a go or not

[Dave O Shea]

G8  that summit are running this...really tempted as find it hard to pass up a marathon race but after feeling tired a while back I took an end of yr rest and stayed off bike a bit too long ...rested up now but going like a big sac of spuds  ! Might head up anyway ! Long time since raced there...always a g8 exp.....encourage anyone to give it a go !

Conor and Ciara are running this. They will do a great job and have an excellent venue. Well worth supporting

Congrats to Jim who is this years new Masters Champ. Delighted for him.!! Not easy to get a national title, so well deserved.!

Also another couple of great results, Paul C was 3rd place in Experts and Ryan Dunne was 3rd place in the support race. Well done guys and to everyone else who raced. I have no other results at present.

Great stuff from Jim today on what I thought was a really tough course, lots of fast single track but one serious techy climb that also had to be done twice and nearly made my physically sick along with bringing a tear to the eye.
Well done to everyone else who made the trip up, Great venue and well run race by Summit MTB.

[Dave O Shea]

Well done Champion Jim ..fantastic stuff ! Well done Paul and  Ryan too ..great results ! A really well organized race....dnf'd myself after a mechanical but wasn't going g8 so not overly disappointed !
