Update for anyone coming tonight - Venue change to Venue D due to persistent rain affecting the planned course for tonight.

[barryvankellett]

Great turn out on a truly filthy night, Thankfully the rain seemed to almost stop by the time we started so we only got soaked from the ground up. Really good racing, Cowan sneaks another win on the offroad scene... Roadie tactics coming through to just pip Paul Hamilton in a finish line sprint, with Peter Davison collecting another podium for the weekend.

Huge thanks to Derek and the kids for awesome time keeping in poor conditions, the legs are walked off them little ones.

Round 2
Weather looked half decent, but as we waited for the late comers, we discovered why Noah had parked his ark up beside us. Torrential rain, wind and temperatures rapidly plummeting. Riders hiding in cars, wondering would it stop before it got dark. It appeared only Cowan had turned up prepared. As the racing ensued, and the rain continued, the bib tights and winter gloves, hat and buff looked a good call. Hamiltons fingers fell off somewhere on lap 2. Peter was sporting a lot of bare limb but still producing the fastest laps of the night to sneak past Paul near the end but just failing to catch Cowan, who has definitely earned an upgrade to the next group after two wins in a row. Unheard of in MTB Club league.

Well done to all on getting out there and doing it on our usual "friday weather"

Round 3
Cool evening, ground greasy after rain earlier in the day, with 16 Brave riders taking to the line.
A hard race for all. Possibly tougher conditions, very slippy in places, with an extended loop to compete on, and an extra lap on last weeks race.
Well done all who took part.

Group 1 took the Honours with Graham Smyth just about pipping 12 year old Ben wilson over almost an hours racing, great performance by both. Graham improving drastically from his first race of the year Jitters last week, and Ben mixing it with the seasoned Adult XC racers and leaving them for dead. Peter Davison rounds out the podium again with another strong ride showing great consistency.

ROUND 4 ENDUROLITE Sponsored by Broome Factory Racing

Well done to all who took part, particularly those riding the trails blind!
The big head to head between Broome and McLean went down with only 6 seconds seperating the pair of them in the end up. Ben Wilson producing a storming ride to take the 3rd spot on the podium.
Great night, big thanks to Davy Broome for taking care of organising the night and sorting it all out.

MTB Club league rd 5: Midgefest.

Great nights racing yet again. Few big names missing but the show must go on.
Well done to Paul McLean on a conclusive win, smashed it. Ben showing the last round out was no fluke with consistently powerful stages. Well done young man. I managed to round out the podium, only clipping each shoulder once and going out the front door once on the last stage. Pretty successful by my own standards.
Welcome to newcomer Keith who did well considering all the stages were ridden blind and he had a mechanical on one effectively ending his race.

Round 7 - XC Short course
Amazing scenes tonight again as there was NO rain.
Small turn out, due to people away on holidays etc. The show must go on.

Well done to Adi Booth taking a fine win with a good gap to spare. John Shanks matched him early on but decided to roll round in the mud on lap 2 and lost him and allowed Paul Hamilton to close up after Pauls poor opening lap. A sprightly sprint finish to round out the podium with Paul just taking 2nd and John 3rd.

Well done to New comer David Martin who completed 2 full laps before the lead riders caught up with him.

In other news, Lexi Broome beat her dad round the loop - setting a new U8 course record in the process.

Final Round of the Club League - XC Short Course

With the Club League all to play for an Irish National Podium Placer made it the start line with a former (not ex) MTB National Champion. Rumours had been circulating that a certain Roadie might have a chance of club league victory. Clearly the handicap fairy has been studying form creating a very close race. Young Paul snatching victory with only 23secs in his pocket from a fast closing Kellett.

Unlucky for poor Ben getting a puncture but great riding from everyone else who are just getting quicker and quicker. The Championship round should be interesting.
