10 was the best I ever managed, every time I rode this ended up having a pint watching the finish

Rolling circuit, as the laps stack up it starts to take its toll.

This is an excellent circuit and as said, it gets exhausting after a few laps. Do a warm up on it if you have time, as there's one corner there that was the deciding factor for a lot of lads last year. A shame I have to miss it this year.

Big thanks to DW for giving us a dig out with spare tubes. My son had 2 flats during the warm up and then again during the race. Very kind folks up there.

didn't know that you were on here. It was wav1 that had the tubes, and me that picked them up. Glad you got sorted.

I enjoyed the day. 13 laps on the motorbike is a hell of a lot easier than on the bike bike

Well done great race today the A1s were fairly moving thought 1 of the ucd lads were going to take the win as there were 3 in the break away group but we're caught on last lap well done to alaster mcauley who won
