Well Done to EPIC in Killarney

Probably the nicest loop I've ever raced, it had a really interesting mix of drops, roots, everything really condensed into 4.5km, defo suited the stronger lads as a couple of places u could red line it. I got a blistering start, first through a couple of bends in the field, but it was short lived, 3 fast lads tore by me and then I dabbed early and Quinlan and mc Garvey got through!!! Kept motoring and after another lap I had passed Quinlan, but he wasn't having that, and made a bold move on one of the drops to go by me, got it wrong and I went off down the hill(sorry Niall). Then I relaxed a bit on 3rd lap and pollock came out of nowhere at the start of last lap, he caught me and passed so I kept pace till the last climb and then hit the nitros, blasted past and no sign of him, phew!! I couldnt believe it,Home and 5th, happy days
I believe there was an EPIC rider in S4 is this true ? did he only have one leg and was he blind ?

Dermot ?

No EPICmtb member is to ride S4..am I fookin talking to myself ?
But I did all the driving 600kms too....... and not so a result bad for only getting out on the bike a couple of times in this month.

As teachers said in school...can do better, will do next time !!
Well done Epic racers. Terry your motoring. What did you get done again last week in hospital ?
Also, Paddy won the U16 and Dan came 3rd in Juniors!
Great racing today, brilliant course, great buzz in town the night before, and sharing a room with Niall Quinlan... perfect weekend! :]

A Guinness infusion more like! Didn't slow you down at all!

And I'm not sure where the other youth riders finished, sorry, but I think we got another podium?

You two looked v hapy going cruising the town in the Giant rep mobile!
Well done Terry great racing today
And to all the Epic Lads and ladies well done today.
Well done Killarney and Max P for an extremely well run event. The course was super and got the thumbs up from everyone I spoke to. Some excellent EPIC results today, the stand-out being Erica's win in S2 showing a clean pair of heels to the competition. And young Max of course, second behind Superman Monty who, if I'm not mistaken, passed all but two S1 riders having started a minute behind them! Max led the field away before Monty passed him going in to the woods but held position for the remaining four laps to finish a strong second ahead of Dan who was racing out of his skin. Some fantastic battles going on in S2, Terry and CMcG trading places several times, great to watch and well done Hoppo for wining S3. I'm a bit horse after spending the afternoon roaring on EPIC riders. Photos will follow but not tonight.
