I was looking forward to that. Could only find 1 tweet about 1 race. Was there an error with your hashtag?

well done Dublin Wheelers great Race & thanks to the Marshalls. Rode in the A3 race myself and would just like to ask some riders to kindly consider their riding actions for future races and have consideration for other road users. We all want to get home safe at the end of the day & without attracting adverse attention from Motorists & Gardai.

I rode (half - bit sore from yesterday) the A4 and it was very well managed. Moto Marshall in particular played a great part in putting manners on the bunch.

As a result it felt like a good safe race. Well done Dublin Wheelers and all the Marshalls.

Did this today too , a lot safer than expected although I stayed right at the front for the lot of it so I missed the crash , as Darragh said the Moro Marshall was on the ball. Great race with great weather . Kudos to Dublin Wheelers .

What was the problem in the A3 race? I didn't see much of note going on. The race was effectively shut down by Waterford for their man in the break. Good to see that he at least did the business for them frustrating and all as it was.

Good day out and well run. The race is too short though across all categories in my opinion. A4 should be 67k, A3 whatever the A1/2 race was, and A1/2 another lap on top. That's my only criticism Glad to have the first one of the year under the belt.

i was happy enough with 67km today for the first race of the season. another time up Doreys might have ended me.

Thanks to all involved for the race, enjoyed it very much and felt safe throughout all of the four(ish) laps. Went on a break from the gun with a club mate, an ITAP and a DID Dunboyne rider. Club mate went back to main group but the remaining three of us had a good bit of fun out the front (stickybottle says 2.5 laps, think it was less than that though). Then McKenna come over, that seemed to deflate the other two lads and the chasers got us shortly after that. What followed was 10-12km of what I can only describe as an 'attackathon'. Good news for me was that getting on and staying on Seans wheel was grand on the flat bits, not so much on Doreys Forge. Some 6-8 lads ended up front with about 10 or so in the most incoherent chase group I've ever been in. By the last 10k or so finally a decent chase group formed and we got to the front group (minus McKenna and an ITAP or two) with less than 2k to go. Ended up 12-14th or so, had no legs left in the slow-mo gallop up to the finish.

Great day for racing but unfortunately id a mechanical 10km into A3 race. Tried chasing for about 25k and finally sat up. Didnt give the initial chase enough hoping id slowly bridge but wasnt to be, got close but not close enough. Now for a new bike thread as im finally throwing this frame away (non-drive chain stay seems bent as when i lock rear wheel skewer all wheels go towards the frame and its now finally rubbing)! Pity as weather was perfect for a good days racing.

Any idea of the numbers signed on for A3??
