There is a crit on this Sunday night for A4s, as part of the Suir Valley Cycling Festival. I haven't seen it posted here yet.

It's on the same circuit as the SV3D crit and is on just beforehand.

Crits a great fun and there should be a good crowd spectating so definitely worth the trip to Clonmel.

Thanks for posting will probably head down. Not very well publicised not on stickybottle or Cycling Ireland. Can you still update the title Diarmuid or we need a mod to it. Might let a few more people know about it

Diarmuid · 31-07-2013 04:09PM

Doh! Thanks for pointing that out. I'll get the mods to fix the title

What an experience the 4 stages where,you would certainly learn loads while racing the Suir Valley,around 130 starters on sat,only 97 turned up for stage 4 and only around ,and I'm delighted to have completed it tired mentally and physically,but with a smile,had a good opening stage,much better 2nd stage finished top 20 in what was left of bunch gallop,even managed to bridge across to couple breaks that had Aqua,An Post and Rapha riders,was some laugh,paid for it going up pike thou,had to get breather out back for few mins and then back up to have some fun,pace was very fast last couple km for sprint but was unreal.

Crit was an arse opener,the extremest one yet and today was good until after vee,rolled home with Will Whelan who was too busy admiring the sheep than racing,dirty divil......
Couldnt be happier in my first year racing with this quality field nationally and abroad,roll on the Charliville two dayer, a good strong hard winter training block(s) and then the big stage races next year,and hopefully be lucky enough to stay outha trouble and get another upgrade.
