Just signed up, plus I will be bringing my son for the kids blitz. So I will be there from early on Sunday, if anyone else is bringing kids along.

Any bets on whether it will go ahead tomorrow with the snowy forecast?

That was though start to the race season! first lap was a shock to the system, recovered a bit for the 2nd lap and enjoyed it more, top of the course was challenging with a few inches of snow under foot and driving snow + wind trying to blow you off the bike.
Great result Patrick 18th out of 89!(great to see ur family out in support in that weather!) 
Myself  Stuart and  ED had a great dice on last lap
Never enjoyed a hot coffee and shower as much as I did after that!!
Rool on next sat (Gale force Dublin endurance race). Hope weather is a bit better

Fun conditions out there yesterday. Felt more like a muddy CX race in the deeper snow sections. Plus Santini has shamed me into moving on from the baggy shorts to the pro for Ticknock.
