    It looks like you're trying to post a picture straight from a Gmail account. You'll need to either upload it to a picture hosting website like Photobucket, or attach it to your post from your computer directly - as you would if you were attaching something to an email.

    You're right that's exactly what I was trying to do. Luckily some of the other lads bailed me out . Thanks .

    Online entry open so don't hang about . Underage can register on the morning of the race .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,222 ✭✭✭michael196


    Run by our good friends at Barrow Wheelers New Ross. Reckon it is worth the trip.

    Handy circuit, easy points and a bit of post race relaxation at Creacon Lodge afterwards .

    How come its not been promoted like various other races,they are no one posting about it on any the social media sites,the last time some one posted about it here was 18 days ago, and only once in last few weeks on facebook
    how many do they need for it to run ahead....

    lob it up on stickybottle and other pages and it might fill up

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/344793343944/ is a good group to put it in on Facebook.

    Short answer Pawlie is that the person meant to look after promoting it didn't . I was talking to some of the lads today about pushing it before it closes so fingers crossed . . Sticky bottle were emailed a couple of times about it and never replied , I believe this is common enough .

    Why is reg closing so early relative to race day? If you want to fill it then surely leaving reg open until night before (or -1) is the way to go

    Because if it was left till the last minute the race would run regardless , at a cost to the club . The early cut off allows some for flexibility I'm sure if anywhere near the amount of riders required to break even signed on by Monday then the race would run with riders allowed to sign on that day .

    Well ye need to let people know its on,and get it on various clubs pages,just putting it on your own fb page is not enough,just look at what others do they spread the word around,maybe ye should hire Mr Noonan from Wexford wheelers to promote it 😊
