Rob,

What's the hush hush - I nearly sure from what I recall if you go through the www.cyclingulster.com news sections from last year there's details on it.

yes I was arsed, but just long enough (and lucky enough) to stumble across the fund raisers, something about needing a loop something or other for his heart, as you said whats the hush hush

the guy was Ill, he got treatment, and he's back racing sounds like a story to share not keep hushed up

Congrats Ballyhoura.Am i right in thinking that you ended up with a top in an open race, that is some going in your first year out of junior ranks.

who is yer man in the rock racing gear in pic number 4?

Home:Ballyhoura

It is Jay/Jason Daly (originally from Mayo wheelers I think) but he's starting up a new 4 man team this year I think but I would say his kit and team bikes haven't arrived yet...some more pictures of the race here for anyone who is interested!

Apparently it's going to be a hit squad modelled on Rock Racing (without the drugs etc i assume) -called Blackthorn racing

Can you be more specific on "a bit of a drag"....

Home:Ballyhoura

I was just talking to a guy who knows the route, and all he said is that instead of going through some tiny little town/village (apparently the only one but I can't remember it, maybe you do!) like last year, we swing a left up a "bit of a drag". Also, we will be actually coming into Broadford town and heading up left on the Dromcolliher road. Honestly, that is all I know and it will be my first time seeing the circuit too. Should be fun.

Oh and he is aiming to have sign-on between 12:00-12:30...best of luck guys!
