Oh..my..God...

That was some craic..!! Exploding heart rates, exploding pelotons...the tactics were something else..lots of little digs off the front, none successful. A lot learned for the next day ie be a cute hoor like Barry and sit off the back.. The fact that a big group finished together made for a tight finish. The gallop to the line from the turn off on the my shall road was class, 60kph eyeballs out, I made a bid for freedom around the last bend only to be swallowed up and spat out by the peloton 100m from the line

Thanks to organizers and marshals, roll on the next one

Well done all,sick to have missed this. One of the best nights last year

Ah we're back up and running. Had Forum withdrawal for a day or two.

Super night and definitely one of the best races/craic I've been involved in. Someone told me the route was 26k, so at 25.5 I made a burst, I died about 500 metres later only to realise there was another 2k to go . Don't know how, but I managed to pick myself up, tag onto the group as they passed me and make one final burst with a couple of hunderd metres to go, only to be piped by the 'Mighty Mick Foley' by a wheel. I didn't see behind but it looked like there was just a wheel between everyone. Super finish and Heart bursting stuff. Great support out there too and thanks to Martin for timekeeping and following us on the roads. Have to do this again, great training too

Sounds great, I was weeping into my ballet programme after missing it. Fair play to PJ for organising it.

That was the hardest finish to any sports event i've ever done - took me at least 5 minutes to come round.

Great race and definitely one to be repeated - i knew the distance and left about 4km too early . It's such a different type of cycle racing. There will be alot of cute hoors the next time me thinks!

Well done to Pj and Martin on this one and of course to the winner - Mighty Mick!
