    Looks like bike road racing will be no more in Ireland. So open your arms and prepare to welcome back our prodigal sons......

    Will it go the way of the UK with secret TT style events?

    Open to correction but I understood that TT racing took off as an underground movement when open road racing was blocked.

    Maybe I should stick to the MTB ;)

    Think you are right on this and actually in my swiftness to gloat at the Freds forgot that happened the sprint in the NAC, Skerries under Voldemort, the duathlons and so on.

    Can we change the forum name to
    "Aquathons and mud wrestling"

    Don't feel so bad now having flogged my bike & wheels. A summer of plodding & aquathlons for me.

    Accepted route is:
    1. Sign up for Iron Man Dublin
    2. Book in with your local tattoo parlour for an MDot on your calf
    3. Think about learning to (but don't actually) swim

    All depends. If you do two 70.3 races in the Northern & Southern hemisphere you could get away with it.

    You should only be allowed colour it in when you do the whole 140.6 :D

    yes, a pink full tattoo should be fine, as well, as it leaves people guessing ;-)
