XC Nationals Course Stava right here !!!

Now that I got your attention..only 40 people have signed up for this..get talking on the other Mortal forums about this, whos's going, what category are you in, what are your hopes and dreams.
Apparently theres a new climb called ******* Son of Benchcut and a descent called What the Devil !

the Masters is going to be the Race of the year, ELites will just be a one man show. S4 is Terry o'Neills for the taking.
Come on to feck , its the Nationals in Djouce, There will be exotic Dancers, Pole Dancers ( Agata and Max ).
29'ers will be annihilated and you will see the fastest old men in Ireland skittering across stuff and I am going to punch somebody squarely in the face for all to see !
Thats a promise !

If you are a member of EPIC you are riding this or you are dismissed from the Club..end of story.
Or support the Club with whatever you have.

Hah .... that's nothing .... I'm going to be 6th in the Vets!
Will be on holiday and really pissed that I'm gonna miss this but best of luck to all in Epic.
Beaten to the punch by 'GH90'sMTB'er' I was just about to say that the on-line registration only takes into consideration the Champion ship categories and you still may find a large number of people taking part in the S3 and S4 categories, which can be signedup on the day.
For what its worth, I've spent a long time trawling each of the connected websites and I am yet to find an answer for what each of the Categories are. What's an Elite, what's a Master? How many laps etc...

An "Elite" is essentially a chocolate covered Kimberley.

A "Master" is a banger who drops down from S1 for the National Championships.

A "Vet" is an animal doctor.
Masters is 30 +, Vets is 40+, think they do 4 laps each. Elite is elite and they do 5 laps. They are championship catagories (ie you will become national champ of that catagory if you win) and u need to register before friday to enter them (and you have to be Irish to enter them). Then there is the non championship race catagories, these are the same as S3 and S4 that the men and women have been racing all season. So S4 is 2 laps and S3 is 3 laps, you sign up for these on the day.
Simples!!
S4 Fat and Hairy
S3 Skinny and shaved ..it says it here in the UCI handbook that i wrote
I'll never get my castlewellan levels of practise in, but hey, it will be much appreciated!
