12 Apr 2014, 18:40
I seen loads of people today in Ballinastoe being all rad and gnarly, doing manuals and lateral bunny hops, whats going on? Can't be much to it cos no one is talking about it here! This club is soooo XC............

Not sure what it is but I know Smithers will be there .... and probably Orla, Shona, Gary and quite a few more!!!

Woooohooooo that crazy event in balinastoe today!!!! Not a sight of Lycra to be seen.
The weather played ball and the trails rode amazingly. Niall does a great job combining old and new, everyone was smiling all day.
Personally, I had a great race. Managed to stay upright all day, cleaned all the jumps and kept just enough in the legs for the horrible sprints
I came in second to Leaha with Silva and Orla very close behind. Great turn out from across the biking world.
Wonderful day, very happy with my result

I was talking to Shona on Saturday after her practice, she had an air of confidence about her so it was great that she kicked ass today, well done girl, some happy head on ya after the race! Even though i was sick I still had a blast, apart from stage 4, getting some air is my new passion, I'm not great at it but it's great fun! I still love XC but the atmosphere at these is electric, the mc for the prize giving was class too. Well done to the few Epic heads there.

3 Club members on podiums I think - Shona, Orla and Smithers? Well done all!
Actually Shona there was some lycra on display - Joules (who won 40-49!) was in full XC racing gear .... probably why he beat Smithers to top spot!!

And a very modest Shona failed to tell the whole storey, she was beaten for the win by 0.11 seconds now thats what i call close
