I thought mtbers were typically cool hip and very with it, yet they complain about paying online. Conway will ya grab them kicking and screaming into the 21st century :roll:

You don't know the half of it Frank! Most people are OK with it but there's a vocal minority who think it's the end of the world. Most clubs will run with it and just quietly cater for those who can't or won't pay online.

have a read of this: http://www.epicmtb.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13814

as DC says, a vocal minority. For the race last week approx 140 paid online without a word of complaint, about 15 paid on the day

Great Day out in Bellurgan Park yesterday, with 5 club members in action. The Cuchulainn lads really put in a huge effort to build an excellent course, no comparision with the mudfest of last year.

Well done to Brian on his first NPS race, unlucky not to finish due to a freak mechanical. :( Better luck next time. Rudolf also unlucky but sure he'll make up for it later on in the season.

Respectable enough finishes from me, Damien and Jim.
