Brian I be doing this. Rode some of the course last week and it proper mountain biking. I be driving up on Sat morning and go home on Sunday. A few pints and loads of food after the race. There might be a few Epic mtb riders staying over so we can join them. Camping is a option I will have a look at possible campsites.

Or you can go for a road spin instead!

News in that Rudolf came in 5th in an enjoyable race. Great result in what must have been testing enough conditions up the Cooleys after last night's rain. Good going

Well done Rudolf, that's very impressive. 17th out of over 200 and 5th in a tough category. You're as good as new again :D
