Jasus that was some craic lads, Well done on the Podiums to Adam and Tayto. Was there anyone else ?.

Fecking loved that course really wasn't room to relax and you were forced to push to the end.

A lot learnt from my first NPS.

Lycra could be the way forward afterall  ;)

Although after that I'm just bursting to get out on the big bike again

Well done Jimmy on first NPS...been a few yrs since my last short course NPS and I'll defo need to learn and re learn too. Those podiums were v well earned today...a course that test all aspects of a rider...well done lads ! fantastic course !....got the start I wanted ..then made a few mistakes but was well happy with it till lap 4 when d combo of running out of gas on the last lap and d gear lever coming off made it a real struggle to the finish..can't remember being that tired at race end ...plenty room to improve...bring on Galway...anyone know anything about the course ?

Fantastic course again by the WORC'ies. loved every bit of.
Too many mistakes on my part which made my race alot harder than it should have been, will have to do better for the next one but saying that really enjoyed the course.

Brilliant turnout from the club and a few podiums
Adam McGarr won U16
Johnny Q came 4th in U16 with zero training
Joanne came 3rd in S3 women
Paul C came 2 in S2,
Brilliant results folks

Special mention for Jimmy who had a belter of a race in s3, 8th place overall. well done Jim

It was really good seeing so many from the club there today racing or not!
Cant wait to see everyone in the new kit for the next race (fingers crossed it's here on time)

Fair play to all who entered and climbed the podium. Just started loading the car when illness struck the house and needed at home; that's family life.

Real old skool course today and very typical Robin design..... Liked the course, but thought the sketchy bit was unnecessary.

Good to see so many there from the club and some great results as mentioned above. Fair play to Adam winning by a mile, Tayto chip and Joanne on the podiums. This time last year Tayto was wining S4 races and now 2nd in S2.!

Special mention to Jimmy The Savage Enduro XC on his first NPS.... Seems hes better at xc that enduro...Who knew.!!
Great to see Turbo Trev back in action, its years since ive seen trev in a race and he passed me by just like the last time  ;)

Not much to say about my own race, i had a good half lap then i was crap.


It was great to see Corney knocking about too  :)

I love my club! :-) It's only right that steady results started giving the club recognition instead of the good lads getting poached as soon as they preform. Big Anto was breathing down my neck for 2 laps before he got a flat. Another very strong rider on our hands which is excellent. I love wearing the colours and love the great vibe we have going. Sure isn't the craic of it all the reason we do it!?

Well done all I had a wedding over the weekend so had to give it a miss. Sounded like a good tough course. Fair play to Adam and Paul.  Also too Jimmy seeing the light and Trev and Dave o Shea on return to xc racing after a couple of years. Would love to have been there. And will have another family wedding clashing with rd3 :'(

How did you get on with the wide bars on the off camber?

The wide bars were great for torquing up some of the punchy climbs. Did clip a couple trees, that section of flowing singletrack that followed the fire road was tight for sure. Happy I cut down my bars to 720 :)
