Re: NPS Rnd 2 Belurgan Park
A brief few words from myself;
Getting to this race was nice and handy, just off the M1 and well signposted.
I was surprised by the great condition of the track given the rain we had last week, really dry and rolled well, top stuff.
My start from the front was poor enough but I pulled a good few places back on the first fire road climb, happy enough with that then pulled up a few more places on the start/finish section in the field on my second lap. I was on the wheel of one the local lads all the way up the switch back climb, just didn't have enough to get past but then he lost me on the single track and remained unchanged until the finish. Tully was very unlucky to get a ripped tyre so early on after a great start.
We were both caught time wise so we never got to hang around and cheer on the lads in S3/S2 in the 2pm start.
A great days racing, very enjoyable fast flowing track, the people ringing the bells at two intervals on the single track was a nice touch.. when the race spread out it helped give an indication of how far in front/behind the next rider was. Looking forward to the next race.
No results published yet that i am aware of..

Something wrong with th S2 results. Jim Haide (8) broke his chain and was DNF. Hope the correct results are up later.
