    Same day as the rugby. Oh well, there's more races in a month or so.

    Great will see you up there. Well kind of the young lads have a blitz there at 10.30. Nothing for me for a few weeks yet.

    sign on at 12.30? seems very late! What time would the race be starting at for the different categories?

    Hard to tell whether it's Sign On or Start at 12.30? Anyone got any further details?

    It was my first ever race last year, reckon it's a good one to start with. All left-hand turns iirc, and just the one bump over Dorey's Forge. Assuming it's the same course, and that my memory is infallible.

    Am also aspiring to take part in both these this weekend, but I might require another visit to the doc in the meantime. Also have to move house. Excuses, excuses...

    Actually, I'm taking the room of one of your colleagues kenmc. :D

    I understand that Saturday has been canceled as a mark of respect due to the death of a senior member of the promoting club.

    The email I got specified the mick lally memorial and I didn't want to seem insensitive by asking did that include the other races, but I expect it does.

    the open races scheduled for Summerhill on Sat 03-Mar have been cancelled.

    I didn't know the man myself, but condolences to those who did.

    From Sticky Bottle.com
    (Sign on usually opens at least an hour before the race)

    Cycleways Cup, Co Meath

    The Cycleways Cup in Navan had always traditionally been the season-opener in Ireland but with the racing having crept forward a couple of weeks in recent years, this Sunday’s running of the event will see it unfold on the third weekend of racing in the new season.

    The sign on for the races is at Navan Rugby Club, with racing starting at 12.30pm. The start is on the Slane Road with the finish at Proudstown Road.

    Promoted by Navan Road Club, there are three races down for decision.

    The combined A1/A2 race will be over 130km; the A3s will race 80km and the A4s 70km.

    For more information contact John Nolan, 087-2238873

    Wife took pity on me following the cancellation of the Summerhill Race and has told me to go to Navan. I am now in hellenic levels of debt on the domestic front.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,315 ✭✭✭chakattack


    Anyone know if this is the exact same course as last year?

    The A4 race was billed as 70k but ended up at 85k.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,824 ✭✭✭levitronix


    the race was supposed to be nuetralised i think last year till the first right hand turn but that never happened so thats where you get the extra distance, plus the organisers cant publicize a race of that distance for A4, id say for sure its the same course as last year


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,578 ✭✭✭uberwolf


    any news?

    Ya.......im tired:).


  • Registered Users Posts: 13 iridemybike


    I rode the A4's. Good turnout, heard there were a couple of crashes (not sure of the details) - Some of those A4's definitely shouldn't be A4's though! Very strong group!

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,111 ✭✭✭joker77


    I rode the A4 race today - that result doesn't look right to me

    Hmm .... I might well be wrong but that looks like one of our jerseys (Epic MTB) in 3rd or 4th in the A4s finish photo, but hard to be sure, and not mentioned in the results!
