mad macs 6hour race

the bellurgan nps is done and dusted now and this is the next event. so far it looks like theres 3 people from epic going , come on now people if we dont support events they wont happen again and besides richie has ran longer spins than this .

Don't know whether I'm looking forward to or dreading this one?

After 3 hours yesterday I thought to myself "Jeysus, next week you'll be only half way through the race!".

No idea how to approach it .... how hard to go, how often to stop, when and what to eat/drink?

Ah well only one way to find out ....

in my limited experience i would say go as hard and fast as you can, dont stop for a piss , take a bottle every other lap and a bar or gel every lap. your biggest problem will be the lack of abuse/encouragement in the start/finish area(and i dont mean richie he has presented a valid and viable excuse, i mean everyone else !!)

i definitly would have went but i swapped Sundays to do the nps before the mad mac was announced

When, where is this? Could someone post a link... could just be what I need to get me back in the saddle

Thank you

is there a club gazebo we could use for this ??

yea i have one

I'm signed up for this now so give me a shout to help with gazebos etc etc

colm how long will it take to get to omagh ??

Google says about 2hrs 20min from Shankill - a little more than 200kms! Probably quicker first thing in the morning!

are you going up on sunday morning richard

No I'm staying over on Saturday night!
