Hey Fergal, Are you sure I wan'nt first elite !!, Was I really that slow getting beaten by a single speeder ??
Really enjoyed it yesterday, Pity more did'nt make it down, Was a great little coarse.
you put in some deadly lap times Rory - far from slow!!
that Donncha lad must be possessed riding that course on a single speed...
Hi
There were some results on Sunday for race numbers which did not have a rider name against them,
the numbers are as follows:
If one of these was your number can you drop me a mail and I'll update your results:
83 (4 laps)
85 (5 laps)
99 (5 laps)
167 (2 laps)
170 (2 laps)
I'm assuming Brian Hutchinson and Morgan O'Connell had one of these numbers
thanks

Great freakin weekend..
great results from the Club..I had a great great race, got a bad start arguing with a High Viz vest about starting the Experts after the Vets..
had the craic going up the hill behind a whole heap of lads...got stuck in then , thinking I was in 3rd not knowing that John Crowley was an Vet, i was racing the crazy Keogh brothers..slagging everybody..great craic, then I destroyed myself in a spectacular crash..though I think the WWF Boys sabotaged the track..

fair play to Fergal and his pals for adding some great sections to the course,
And all the unfortunates having to listen to my abuse on and off the track !!
An absolutely brilliant event with an amazing happy buzz atmosphere..
deadly weekend altogether everybody was flying great results all round bad luck for luke snapping his hanger brian and steve did brilliant for there first race watch out for alan ayling he was snapping at my heels in the masters young eoghan won his category his dad had a great result in masters too,and watch out john o rielly here comes richie byrne in the vets!
really well run on an excellent course and the weather couldnt have been better.a big well done to the lads in killarney will definitely be back for the next one.
apart from the racing had a great weekend with all the usual messing and slagging and a few beers with a great crew of misfits
Great race (kinda), well done Killarney CC, course was tough but fun , impressive first try at the new venue etc

Masters was deadly for 3 laps , Oisin pulled away at the top of the first climb , then it was me rob imbrc fergal and alfie in a good group all racing hard,was deadly!! i had a bit of a stupid fall on lap 3 and Rob pulled a gap , from there the racing ended for me and i started going backwards............effin slipped disc really giving me trouble ......Alfie stormed past on lap 4 lookin good .......the last two times up the big climb i was nearly in tears with the pain - really pisses me off , and to top it off just as my agony was coming to an end - on the last climb i am crawling and look around to see sly oscar trying to sneak up ....lol what an effort and sprint down the last decent to stay ahead , was all i needed thanks dude !! well done to all - great racing by everyone , and great to get somewhere diff , kenmare was class
Great race and great weekend. Well worth Rossco's time and effort to drive me down. (Cheers mate!). Too many funny moments to list. Good turnout from ourselves, MAD and IMBRC and some great slagging. Even an Irish grand slam to top it all off.
Great race with a deadly course. Really enjoyed that one. The sliddery climb was painful but didn't seem so bad the more laps you did into the race.

Well done Killarney CC and Fergal for an excellent event.
Well done Killarney, it was a deadly event. The course was great, had everything all the rest was spot on.

Well done to all the lads from the club that got results, it was great to see all the jerseys whizzing past.

I had three or four deadly excuses lined up for my debacle, no beeps, back pain, no lucky shoes, self changing gears, out breaks of gooberism, but at the end of the day I’ve just gotten too soft and ****e for this carry on. I’ll have to either harden the fcuk up or take up knitting.

On the plus side my second lap was 3 seconds faster than Alan Ayling’s, if only there where more second laps. And I was definitely the fastest around the first hair pin on the last decent, I had that fecker pinned.

All in all deadly, I might even try the next one.
