So whoâs taking part. Iâm signed up as well as Chris and Terry. Any other takers? Personally I love racing there and sher its only over the road. Should be good craic.
Just did a couple of laps. Usual Slade course. Roots and more roots. No per-lounged climbs but a good few kickers. They added back in the fast dh descent which Iâm very happy about. Personally I like this kinda course but it may not suit everyone
When I said very testing, it was . Very hard race from the start. Probably due to lack of mtb racing.Started fast and in the red zone. gathered my race head and continued, but down on GC. Could'nt have given it more.
Paul flew by over the roots like a mad yoke and finished 8th. Colm (who dos'nt train) finished 9th or 10th and Chris (not training at all) finished around 11th.
I'm only feeling better now after a bottle of wine.
Tough days racing on a proper xc course, no rest at any stage, fair play to Imbrc on a super event.
I had a poor start and pushed hard over a few roots, them some more roots & a few more roots & then a few climbs!
Will be good to do some more xc races when I start training.......
Well done to all who raced today, twasnt easy out there!
