that was horrible, i really felt it tonight, way off . Great spin back though, i dragged simon kicking and screaming and the new lad david, down the dream track which was sweet. thanks as ever Harri and Caroline.
Horrible? Fun with a bit of pain, what's not to like! :)
Thanks Caroline, Graham and Harri for the timing etc.
Not a bad evening for it, a bit of tailwind too so the times are good. Looking forward to part II at the end of the season to see the difference and if break the 12min mark
Thanks Harri and Caroline for the timing, looking forward to the club league, hill climb is always a good indication of where u are at, it's never easy though happy with my times an improvement on the last couple if years. Les hope we get big numbers up for next week
oh how the mighty have fallen, great result at the weekend and last on the hill climb ;-) that was really the worst thing I've done on a bike in a LONG time, but at least I made it (not looking at anyone in particular ORLA!!!!)
thanks to Caroline and Harri for putting the effort in to organise this and stand in the cold up there, there is no shelter up there at all!
I must say i was disappointed with the very poor turn out from the club. Doing the timing is a shit job and for maybe 15 club members to turn up its a bit bad......omg i sound like byrner!
you do but less passive aggressive ;-) I was surprised at the low turn out! if I could face that hill on my bike no one has any excuses! where were the wednesday crew?

Nooo!
Well we appreciate you doing the timing.... it's not much effort for people to show up, after all you gave up your free time to stand in the cold for over an hour and pushed a buggy all the way up the fireroad from Ticknock, and Harri is sick but still
came out to support the Hillclimb...
The Conroy's drove up all the way from the middle of Wicklow to take part also..
On Monday Alfie came out to the leadmines with a baby on his back and got stuck into digging at the club course...so there really are no excuses!
So 15 out of 80 members showed up...let's see how the Leadmines races go and if people still want to take part...
yeah come on out and race everyone - I'll be doing plenty of timing etc. to amass a collection of 60 points each week and win the league without even sitting on my bike ( )
it was great too see everyone last night but I would loved to have seen the whole club out.
Remember -for those who forgot- even if you're not at the thin edge of the edge with Alfie, Colm, Max, John Doris et al. there are people all around you to have mini Epic battles with for the craic - you'll improve each week, your times will fall, your tummy will shrink, your calves will enlarge, and you'll be on your bike, I can't think of anything better to be doing, if I was well, I'd be racing - pain and simple!

Well said Graham. I could not make it due to work and will struggle to make any club races for the first few weeks due to work..
But Harri is right, the Epic club league is brilliant craic. Whether you are fit, skinny and fast or unfit, fat and slow you can have a great race and for me it's the best thing about Epic.
A couple of hours pain on a Thursday evening is the business.
Thanks a mill to Caroline & Harri for braving the cold & organising everything, much appreciated.
Thanks also to Max for pulling me up the hill :-)
Bring on the club league!!
I went for a spin myself today and did the hillclimb. 20:02....FFS only took me 16:09 last year....jeasus!
Kinda glad i missed coming last on Thursday now.
