Yeah, marshall would have been handy alright or even a stop sign for the road that was intersecting.

No, just had the black knee warmers on (thankfully!). I probably was beside you there as well. There seemed to be a group of us that lost the lead group on the climbs every time :rolleyes:.

Definitely remember catching the lead group with you at one stage although I can't remember where we were - route turned into a bit of a blur as not at familiar with that part of the country.

yeah i just was not confident there, unsure of right of way. ah yep saw ur pic. We had 2 north tipp wheelers also worked all together on the down hill road from grangemockler ( where we stopped as people were exiting a church and we were coming onto a mian road, Rory Wyley marshalling) to kilsheelin. Eventually we caught the main group.

thank god the O Groman brothers and Barry meehan kept the pace handy along there.

on behalf of the club i would like to thank everyone for riding the event. we are glad to report that the event passed off safely which is the main concern.

Ah, no. The dude in the picture with the stripey arm warmers is Dirk Voodoo.

I am the lanky but tastefully-dressed guy on the Cervélo, second from the right in this photo taken at the top of Knocknaree/Powers-the-Pot.

Keep telling Dirk they look ridiculous, because he won't listen to me.
