Actually not much in the way of rain in the forest. Though the course did get slippy as the laps went by. I banged a pedal off a rock atleast two times on the new section 1 climb. Am loving having to learn how to ride that, where to carry speed, where not to brake, and so on. Great buzz. Brian was out lurking on the course with a big camera. I did him a favour and snotted myself going over the big rock drop on section 1. We'll see if there is any evidence of my fail. Some craic on the spin home. Flash floods I could've done with swimming goggles. For real.

Until next week....

thanks a million lads - been way too long since I was racing up in the Leadmines with ye - a classic venue - amazing work done on the course since I last rode it over 5 years ago
jaysus it was tough - highest heart rate recorded for me in a very long time, I need to get those lines dialled ie; need to not go the wrong way the next time :-)

cheers!


PS: Not sure if these 2 links will work but some old footage of the Club League from 13 years ago it seems




EPIC legend Roo Devoy appears several times in them, looking fast it's gotta be said - he must have paid the cameraman handsomely to speed up the footage :-)

Great to see you back at it Fergal

Was loving the greasy conditions. Great round, thanks to all for organising
