Club League Round 2
What looked like being an awful evening weather wise actually turned nice and sunny for the duration of the race. Again we had another good turnout from MAD though a combination of punctures and broken gear cables saw the end of ryan and morgans hopes of a good showing.
The results were as follows:
1 - Brian (IMBRC)
2 - Luke (IMBRC)
3 - Oisin (UCD)
4 - Nigel (MAD)
5 - Steve (MAD)
6 - Paddy (MAD)
7 - Ryan (MAD)
8 - Mick (MAD)
9 - Morgan (MAD)
10 - Fergal (MAD)
11 - Mark (IMBRC)
We’ll post a league table soon to show how people are doing overall

How depressing! After suffering a mechanical, and banjaxing himself down to just one available gear, Ryan still beat me…

yeah .. but he’s freakishly fast. besides you weren;t on the most mechanically sound machine yourself either

May 19th, 2006 at 3:24 pm

The last two races where the only times (in recent memory) that I broke anything - I learned my lesson last year
What happened the gears was that the rear cable outer (the thing that loops around to the dérailleur) cracked during last weeks race (I think) when we did that crazy course through the gorse. Then this week, a clump of grass finished the job. I just wish I didn’t spend so much time trying to fix it and went with the single gear earlier.
It was funny coming down the descent when I finally started my second lap - bodies lying all over the ground after crashes. Crazy!
