A tough job to stand in the rain at the aerials for 3 hours handing out bottles to everyone, even non-MAD members! Dont forget “Chief Water Carrier”, and my morale booster, Aine.

Roadies were totally useless on the singletrack - they could move on the road but put something slightly technical in front of them and watch how crap they are - Steve will testify to this :-)

yeah, an hour or more off our time last year kept us grinning at the finish line, excellent result Ryan Sherlock 2nd place Elites!

some superfast downhill singletrack with enough ruts, gulleys and holes to have you bunnyhopping like a demented rabbit.

Good to see that Inga in fact had not been kidnapped and is actually alive and back biking again -new bike and all!

A great turn out by MAD - I reckon the best represented club by far on the day!

I think we’ll add Club Champ points to everyone who took part as it’s one tough race regardless of your fitness level or experience and great show of club strength

Please add your name to the list so we know who took part on the day, offhand I recall:

Scrivo, Sean Downey, Conor, Bren, Mel, Ryan, Inga, Shane L, Ciaran, Rachel C, Fergal, Cormac
I’m sure there were a few more….
