Well done to Dave Kelly on his first win..nice one cuz..!!
Lads..
learn to fix your punctures in the races..theres no better time to develop speed at it..
DNFing due to punctures is not the EPIC way..
you are giving away points in the league !!
Oh and stealing other DNFers bikes is the lowest of the low..!!!

Deadly stats there Fergal, well done, now I can go to sleep. Great race tonight, felt much better this week which I put down to lots of water. I had a small battle with Jack on the last lap, but was never going to stay with him, same with Oscar, it's great to give chase once you are passed. I had a feckin stone lodged on one side my right spd from the start, clipping in was a cause of great frustration, and serves me right for unclipping in the first place.

Thanks to the timers for the encouragement, can't be easy standing there watching all the pain.

On that note, and inspired by Smithers and RicharL's cunning tactics, I selflessly offer myself as timekeeper next week, I want to give something back.

Great Race, Well done people, I seem to be out of practice on that coarse ?

yeah thanks to the timers and Gerry for their encouragement..

When are we Voting in that POLL ??

ok,
I had to make some corrections to the overall points - there was another DNF from tonight not added and a formula was wrong - things have changed around a little

...and I'm fecked if I'm going into the spreadsheet again to dock points from Roo - he can do timing next week for free (ie; no points)
that'll learn him like real good

thats a bit harsh !

Great race, me little swim in the mud was even cool, thanks Mr Byrne and Adam ye little.... pipped me at the post, just too fast up the last hill - thanks to gerry and the timers for all the encouragement.

what about Paul Cooney kicking Joes arse to the finish line..deadly stuff..

Some deadly racing there last night folks. Everyone was giving it socks and putting the effort in. Great to see. Except Gar, he just stopped cause he was tired :(. His bike was free for the taking!

Yeah..Carol reckons that we should move Roo up..and dock Gar..after all..Roo saw an opportunity and took it..
but speaking as a Commissaire under rule 789 paragraph 42..
" Riders may not scream "gimmeegimmeeegimmeebikegimmeee!!" unless its a Tuesday in November"
We may have to Disqualify him..

I had to stay for another pint in Palmers - they were so tasty and my brain was still zinging after that deadly race that I needed something to settle me,
