    Just checked mine over, buckle in the front wheel seems to be the only issue after I put it all back together. Have to drop in to the LBS ASAP

    Sorry to hear about the he crash! Hope all's ok. I was marshalling at the junction to trim road and there were 1s and 2s coming to us for a good while! Miserable day for it! The late season start has been cursed for two years now!

    Anyone race the A3?

    Curious to know how it went as I'll be up the country next week for similar type race.

    Same, was it only the A4 that had a crash? Hope everyone is ok. Had a crash last week myself.

    A3 came in with the top 10 reasonably well spread. If it was 50m longer the Bohernabreen lad would have taken it, but the 1st place guy put it all out. A3 just looked like a bunch of lunatics off the front all day from listening to the chats after and watching the finish. Talking to a guy in the bunch, once the lads were away the bunch just spun around at a leisurely pace knowing the places were gone.

    The UCD lad who won was away from the 1st lap, the chasing few were killing themselves to get across and the bunch were giving it socks to close, far from leisurely from what i could see.

    I was talking tomorrow in the bunch, and a few chasing. The lads chasing were going like the clappers but, and this is from someone else, once the bunch realised it was gone, they rolled in. When they decided this is unclear, I presume the last lap, I didn't mean they rolled around from the first lap so sorry for the confusion.

    Yeah when you realise it's gone, what's the point, sprint for minor places is all it leaves.
    When do you reckon you'll be back at it, is the crash going to scupper your plans?

    Yeah, thats the plan atm and don't see any reason it won't change.
    Hoping for a bunch finish to get some confidence for the 2/3 races after it.

    Pretty similar race to the SERC GP we did, the climb is not bad whatsoever. Itd be a perfect race for you to take something away from.

    Back for Newbridge hopefully, might have to do it all out of the saddle if this sore ass don't heal :pac:

    I'm definitely slower this year, I put in a few digs at the front (witnessed by boardsies cycling the other direction thankfully so it doesn't sound like I made it up). Think my biggest mistake on the day was sitting upright to rest so that won't be happening again.
