Unfortunately I have and exam on Saturday so I won't be able to race, so thinking about doing the elites on Sunday is this a bad idea?
Yes I'll be way out the back, but is there a cut off time does anyone know?
I have an elite licence and not eligible to race as master so not losing out on that front, but could this present issue if I wanted to race masters in a few years time?
You can go back to masters the following year
And you can still change your elite license now (until you do your first UCI race), just ring CI
Anything else worth considering....distance? :)
Best of luck to all racing tomorrow and Sunday a good crew I belive ! From seeing the picture on fb it looks to be a great event and doing a great job putting Irish MTB on the map! Can't wait to arrive tomorrow afternoon!
Sunday will be nothing more then a long cycle for me but hoping to enjoy all the same if the distance doesn't get the better of me!
Well that was an amazing event. Really fast course with non stop fun nearly the whole way around. I had a brilliant race dicing with lots of guys the whole way around. Only stopped once to retrieve a dropped bottle. Plenty of epic riders there and finished just over the four hour mark. Poor Kevin got taken off in ambulance with a puncture lung I think so I hope he's ok. No one had his number to check so maybe if someone has they could enquire. Otherwise all home safe. Cheers
