Didn't get my entry in on time so went out to some spectating (slagging!) instead! Cross is great to watch - you get to see plenty of action! Really good racing and a great laugh too! Definately getting an entry in for the next one!

Fantastic course, some sharp kicker climbs, plenty of sliddery corners too..

Don't look at the Bush!!! :)

Cheers to RichardL for the encouragement!

Fair play to Richie, Oz and the other Epic'ers for racing a savage course today..

Morty, ya missed a good race!

yeah that was a very spectator friendly course today. really well designed all together. the tight bends at the bottom of descents made for plenty of funny moments. riders disappearing into ditches. hope the organisers keep the high standard going. the first race in grange castle was excellent aswell

ok that was incredible craic..
I got an ok start and started to pick off the pack on Lap 1..then found myself well up and going faster..the climbs were no problem..I struggled on the bike on the descents as it was my first outing on it..
But Lap 2 handed me a puncture !! feckin feckity feck..so a long walk jog saw me back to the Eurocycles wagon..and Niall Quinlan gave me a front wheel off one of my show bikes..
it was the semi slick job...some craic..
I wiped out on corner 1 and gave myself a dead leg and then wiped out coming out of the forest and ended upside down in the bleeding nettles !
and just as I was on my last lap and Graham was in front of me..I got a bleeding puncture in the rear..
a big thanks to Richard,Owen and Ray for the encouragement, not to mention everybody else..
the craic however during the A race was deadly..
hats off to Steve Pollock , his first ever CX and he enters the As..savage !
