If any of you are around..I'm doing a Tour de Ballinastoe that might be worth visiting..parking at
The roadside at The Coach House in Roundwood 9.30am ..
that was exceptional..some climb out of Roundwood , no wonder Jackson is a savage..then another massive climb up to Luggala..then even more amazing singletrack descending..
Ballinastoe is the new/old Djouce.
Thanks Jackson, I think we might have the makings of a rival to The Cooley Thriller..
Imagine a new Racing series in the future..
The Mourne mashup, The Cooley Thriller, The Epic Grinder, The Cork rampage, the Kerry raid and the Connameara crusade..
Now that would be a series to wave a flag at..
each one a single loop of 50k..
huge cash prizes for the winners
Massive quality product prizes for the runners ups..
TV Coverage from Setanta,
Started by celebrities..the idea is to showcase Ireland as the Number 1 destination for Hardcore Extreme sports people..
The muck and the windyrainy weather is all part of the experience..20 pints of Guinness to celebrate..
Come on , can you dig it ?
Theres so much potential to run a massive mass participation event in Wicklow..huge logistics but we could do it..we are brilliant at it..
the Blast may be at an end..I'm still waiting for the bloody National Park to contact me. They've been to Red Bull,Cycling Ireland and Coillte..
So I think its time for a mega Enduro..starting in Roundwood and using The Forest on the Luggala side and Ballinastoe..theres at least 50k and I mean at least !! some ferocious climbs and some brilliant descending..and amazing situations !!
