I like it. Might even join ye myself I'll see how the body is. None of this stopping half way up lark though

[johnd]

I'll do the driving up to this, so far I've got Dena, Brian & (hopefully) Frank in the car with me - anyone else going fancy a lift? Are you going to race Tom?
If ye can get yourselves to Gorey I'll do the rest. Meet ye in Lidl carpark ready to leave at 9:45am
Don't be pushing it too hard now this week

[Dena]

Thanks John that's great, just me i think it would be too depressing for Tom to go up and have to watch Do you think that's leaving enough time to get reg and warm up? If the lads have never done an IMRA race before they will have to reg for that as well as race? I'm not sure of the car journey so maybe it is

[johnd]

I was allowing for 45 mins travel time leaving us with an hour to get registered and set up after we get there (registration took me about 2 minutes from the side of a camper van at the Mt Leinster race)
No harm in having an extra bit of a buffer though, nothing as bad as having to be rushed before a race
An extra 15 mins should make a big difference when we get there, and will also mean I won't have to drive like the clappers on the way up

So ready to leave by 9:30am instead then?

[Dena]

perfect see you then. Just a reminder lads that depending on the weather IMRA may make it compulsory to wear a jacket for safety purposes, i have witnessed people NOT BE ALLOWED TO RACE because they don't have the right clothes!

[frankb]

Sorted for Saturday, so see you at 9.30am in Lidl carpark

[johnd]

Good man Frank
Car is now full, neighbour of mine is doing this race and travelling with us
See ye all on Saturday

[joy]

To all of those lining out for this one "GOOD LUCK" especially to you first timers Frank, John and Brian . I hope you have a great time and come back with encouraging words for the rest of us to join ye on your next outing. Show em how its done Dena
