Myself, Llandai, AndyW, Cathal and I think Shona are going to give it a go at "Spin" pace! Don't know whether we're doing short or long course. Forecast is shocking ..... bring the wellies!!
even if your not competitive its an oppertunity to ride waymarked trails that you've never ridden before i know i'm looking forward to seeing whats in carrick i think most of the regular epic heads will be there so we should have the craic too
Brilliant event, even though conditions were basically poo. The mud and slidderiness and puddles actually made it more fun that it probably would have been in the dry! Lots of fire road but it's Carrick Mountain after all. Lots of swet singletrack in between, including a new scratched out section that was uber techincal but so much fun when you get it right.
Super results from Damo and Alfie. Elites next year??
Brilliant day out, what a venue, a great mixture of singletrack and fireroad, interesting all the way around. Thanks to Robin, Gordon and all involved in building and running things on the day.

great day out, muddiest I've ever experienced, I even had to stop to scrape the mud off as the wheels wouldn't turn.
for 30km in those conditions it didn't seem too bad although I had 2 nasty spills, was glad to finish and not being last was a bonus in my first race on a proper bike.
