If this was a bit closer to me I'd definitely do it. Sounds like a great setup!

Anyone planning some midweek training sessions around the Phoenix park perhaps?
Dust off the cobwebs etc

Looks for any advise on upgrading the wheel-set on my cross bike. Seems like a bit of a mine field especially with disc breaks.

Would be grateful for any pointers and especially what not to buy/do

Thanks

The boyos in the likes of Expert Cycles would say go tubeless, you always have the option of running tubes with tubeless.

Fixx round 1 Kilternan tomorrow evening, on a wet evening the A race will be finishing in the dark on the sections under the trees, bring your lights.
We finished in the dark up in Belfast last week, by that stage you do know the course and it is pretty cool barrelling into what felt like a black hole of darkness under the trees on the last lap.

forgot how much fun/suffery cx racing is. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to the organisers, and good to catch up with a few boardsies!

Well done to Hmmmmmmzzzzzzis on his win!

No robfowl tho.

Good craic racing this evening.
Great to spot Lenny out in the wild.:)

Super racing this evening, a bone dry course, dusty in places! The light stayed ok for the last race of the day and with the best finish of a cyclocross race i've seen with Kinning, Seymour and Conroy battling it out for the top 3 places!

Hi Folks

Quick question, is it possible to get a one day licence at any of the cx races? i didnt get a CI licence this year due to injury, was hoping to do a few B races..
Any info would be much appreciated..

No One-Day Racing Licenses are available after May (or something).
Some of the Leisure licenses currently run for 12 months, but I think you'll need a Limited Competition license to race CX.

Leinsters are TBA at the moment.

One licences are allowed in off road and leisure events, the Apr thing applies to the road only.
