Just two additions/changes to the route this time! You know we just love upsetting those Strava times :cool:

U14 and U12 now added to the roster. 1 lap of hardship for the kids

Won't make this due to work but really enjoyed (if thst word can be used in relation to cyclocross) the last cx race. Well done navan

Day works out well for me ..... to spectate

We'll be visiting family close by that day so I'll be sure to bring our bike obsessed 3 year old along to cheer yee on. If you hear a little girl excitedly shouting "Big bikes" that'll be us

Bump for this!

All signed up!

Coming from Kilkenny, is anyone driving that direction? Happy to chip in for fuel, etc.

Also, I'm great company in a car: I sing Disney hits and I will obsessively remind you if the speedo nudges over the limit. I'm also hyper-critical of imperfect gear shifts.

are you good at 'you go this way? i'd have taken the right back there, it's quicker'?

Thanks guys, signing on online makes our lives so much easier the morning of and leading up to the race. We have quite a small pool of CX helpers/volunteers so every little thing really helps the cause and helps the day run smoother. The more streamlined I can make it the easier it is to convince others to help!

See you all Sunday, the weather forecast doesn't look too bad either!

little bump for this for the upcoming weekend.

Is it the same course as last time?

Deciding on tyres!

Very similar, slightly different start point.

Weather forecast long term is hinting at dry and sunny again with a high of 8deg.

I'd say it's gonna wet and muddy though. Heavy rain tonight with cold conditions to follow.

Sorry I didn't mean my post to sound negative, I was just mentioning it from a tyre choice perspective:) I'm partial to a bit if mud.

After loads of rain last night there will be a little more mud than we have had in the past......
