Conor Murphy, haha they must have put you behind me coz u ran across the line deadly day and well done to all involved. Striders were a huge hit, Epic had some smashing results and the support from the crowd and the marshals was fantastic despite the poor weather early on. Roll on next year

Amazing results today from epic, and super podiums from Erica Daniel Carol Steo Niall (aka joules) David and fantastic Chris i knew you were in there. . amazing
knackered after all that working behind the scenes is harder then racing so well done all for helping out.
That was a great days racing really enjoyed!! The loop was excellent had everything! bucket loads of single track, savage climbs and plenty to technical sections to test all! Great loop!
Had an excellent race and I was over the moon to get second place! Was full sure that a podium would have been out of reach this season! Had a great race after a messy first lap I was all over the place in the muddy technical section before the big climb and there was major traffic there too so apologies to all about becoming a bit frustrated there looking back no need for it and no benefit either! After that grinder the climb out keeping Ronan in sigh then on the fast section passed him after a tumble, then he passed me after a tumble got up fast taking little notice of the blood on the knee! After that just keep riding on picking off the places had a battle with Redser and a few other towards the end of the second lap took a few on the grass at start finish line. Then the last lap said to myself nothing silly so keep it steady well tried not to crash knowing that the stream train that was behind me! Then meet Steo on the big climb we grinder out the first three quarter together the two of us suffering and then Steo encouraged me to go for home had some serious words with myself and went for it! Thanks a lot for he all the encouragement your some legend! Then going over the bridges near the end seen some familiar looking colour and tried to catch the man in front but wasn't to be but made it as close as I could!! Really enjoyed it!
Had a really enjoyable season racing in s3 from the mud in Mayo to the dust in Slade and all in between! It been tough but hey I've enjoyed it all! A massive thanks to all the Epic crew racing in S3 you made it for me great to see a familiar jersey in a race for craic and encouragement! Thanks Canto, Colm P, Andy Fitz, Ross, Ronan, Gary, Terry, Mick, Graham, Steo I'm sure I left out a few but sorry!
Well done also to Carol, Erica, Steo, David Conroy (what a win!!)and Niall Q on the podiums!
Roll on next year! Best of luck to all racing in the nationals! You'll get my support from a distance I'm away on holidays!
One last thing Thanks to Max all your organisation and hard work in bring the NPS to us!! Much appreciated!
Totaly agree Ronan...Chris has been going from strength to strength and training hard and it payed off yesterday with a super performance and result..well done Chris
Great set of results. Congratulations to everyone who raced , especially those that made the podium. Fair play to Chris in S3 for a very strong ride, not far off winning it in the end.
deadly day and well done to all involved. Striders were a huge hit, Epic had some smashing results and the support from the crowd and the marshals was fantastic despite the poor weather early on. Roll on next year
