Well done on that, Raam mentioned that he won one to me on a spin but no report has been forthcoming.

Well done too to Biker Joe, looks like it was a good night for Swords.

I sent the report in yesterday as I was waiting for results to go up. Didn't wanna announce meself on a public forum as the winner before I saw the official results!

Edit: report hasn't made it on to the website yet. I'll link to it when I see it up.

Well done. Look forward to the cheery report :pac:

For a bit of perspective Paddy Callaly is coming back this year but was an Irish international for about 7 years and rode the Ras finishing in the top 10 (as memory serve me).

Raam

@RobFowl, I believe you got a result last night? Do you know who else got placed?

what was the distance and what sort of average speed would the top 10 be doing?

That race was 45km. Average speed... hmm, I'll have to check the garmin.

Junior

Thank god for this ! I thought he was going to be flogging himself on the floor with barbed wire after the last couple of upbeat reports..

Well done Raam on HTFU

biker_joe

Fair play to you raam. looking forward to the report

Raam

Report is up...

Following my silly mistake in the last Garristown race where I felt strong but lost the bunch by looking around me instead of at the wheel in front, I was determined to hang in for the entire race no matter what the cost. The conditions were much better than the last few weeks. Very little wind and dry roads apart from some small wet patches. Not as many people turned up this week for some reason. I took my usual circuitous route out via the quiet backroads of Ballyboughal and Oldtown. Along the way I passed a farmyard where there was geese all over the road. They aren't the friendliest of animals and let me know that they didn't want me around. The roads were still quite wet, so I was surprised when I saw that our circuit was pretty much dry.

You've been doing a LA on on RAAM. All the early season racing not going so well until you turn up the heat (for LA this will be the TdF).

WELL DONE!!

I'm basically out of the rest of the season with double vision :mad:

Thanks Hungrycol.
Double vision?! That can't be nice. Hope it goes away soon.
