Ok, working brakes are good if you think your going to be going that fast , if not then you should be fine with out them , i would suggest flat pedals if you have them but not a must, just means you can bail out quicker
If you want to bring beer David thats totaly fine with me but i'll bring a bottle opener cause my teeth ain't that great these days
No but on a serious note if you have knee/elbow pads etc it would be worth bringing them, i hope to get up there over the next few days and clear out the mid section so it's all rollable, put a bit of length into the track.
As for what evening i'm totaly easy on that, it's totaly up to you guys what day you would like to head up, i'll head up every night if needs be

Working in Dublin Tues so might not work for me - Weds any good??

[BrainY]

i was going to get protective gear after last wednesday. think i'll stick to fire road for while

[Gazpw]

Ok how about we leave it till the week after so as we can get a good few together, it will be more craic and it gives me more time to sort out a few bits on the track, the longer the track the more fun it's going to be.

Took a spin up to Carrick today for some sneaky practice, the track is running nice, very fast in sections with a few nice jumps, AJ and the lads have done a good job, i'm realy looking forward to the race it's going to be a cracker.
Be nice if we could get a few 795 guys up for some support, there are some great spots for spectating.

Gary, I see racing starts at 12. How long does it go on for? If one could only spare an hour, what's the best time to see you in action?

[Gazpw]

Racing starts at 12 noon and the podiums are on at roughly 4pm, we get 2 runs with my first seeding run normaly being around and about 12.20 to 12.30ish depending on numbers, the second run will then be about 2.20 to 2.30ish, again depending on numbers. This will be a historic day, the first time a Racing 795 top has been worn in anger in a DH race

Excellent. A podium would be nice. No pressure though.

[DavidF]
