That was a great race. So much fun. Had a great race with Timmons through most of it but no battle at the end as he stopped to get his stashed overshoes...bummer that.
I forgot to put my race number like a nob so it was stealth mode for me. Doh. Well done to all who finished that race. Fcuk it was awesome!!

Man that was tough, Great course, crap weather, bit of trouble with my overshoes on lap one so threw them in the ditch, spent the next 2 lap trying to shake off John but he kept coming back the sh1te! Had to collect my oversized on lap 3 or I'd never see the again, would of loved to have raced you in John but tbh I think you had more in the tank anyway. Oh, Dave Meredith, sorry you got in my way at the start!!

[DaveMeredi]

Tough race on a really good course. Loved the tech stuf. Lots to focus on lap after lap. Legs are empty now! Elbows out Timmons. Well done to anyone who raced today, it’ll stand to us come summer (I hope) :-)

[Batster]

great race - one that will be talked about for years! Early on in the day in U-8s Matthew came 1st and Izzie 5th (2nd girl over the line) they loved it!

great to see so many club members out, the course was great - had everything - only thing that drove me nuts was all the mud in my eyes - it's still driving me nuts!
Had a nice over the bars-sideways on the man-made bermy section - the corners were very soft - loved the big drop - nice roll out so it wasn't hard at all,
like a dope I did a full practice lap - which, in the conditions probably could have skipped! And to prove I'm still learning -I'd always wear less for the race - cause you're going flat to the mat and you'll be warm no matter what, I dropped the jacket for the race - kinda regretted that decision a bit! hahahah finished 51/60 I think . . . must try harder!

still was great fun! And big shout out to the Pro's who were super cool when passing - all saying hi and 'on your right' 'rider up' and what not - something to be proud of! great Sportspeople!

Well done all on a very tough days racing, some amount of shlippin & shliddin, fantastic course and organisation by WORC, thanks & well done all to all involved. Great to have another local Xc series and to see so many Epic jerseys on the day, looking forward to the next one already!!

Glad that mudfest is behind me. Cold, wet, mud, mud, mud. WORC put in a lot of work to prep a great course. I felt sorry for them taking it down in the freezing cold as I was leaving.
I too made the mistake of too many layers at the start - and then couldn’t see due to fogged up glasses for half the first lap. Surely I learned this lesson before! Things started to improve half way through lap 1 - having some Epic company certainly helped, but an over the bars in the middle section of lap 2 knocked that on the head. Swapped places several times with a Frenchman on a 29er unicycle - pretty amazing feat. Got so so cold afterwards, not helped by having to hose myself down in the garden.
A day I won’t forget. It could have been such a different experience 48 hours earlier. Well done to all survivors and to WORC for a great course.

Well done to them!
My Alex did the u8 also, led the field till lap 3 and then stopped, got passed by everyone and bust out crying and was inconsolable for 20mins.
When we tried to ask her about it later she was shouting "I don't want to talk about it!"
She really wanted to win I think!

Yes -I was wondering about that - she was in total control and out in the lead!!!

Great racing... absolutely loved that. After learning to ride my XC bike again on lap 1 after it sitting in the shed since August (went over the bars... stupid steep head angle!) I got into the swing of things. Good amount of swapping positions throughout and I managed to put a decent gap on the group on the last lap, and just about held off Chris M towards the end. Just shy of the podium in my first year in the older lads category. It doesn't get any easier though.

Great 3 in 1 offering XC, CX, and Sunday spin all rolled in to one the stuff legends are made of
As noted Clothes, Body, Bike all washed twice and fed three times
Great battle of survival with Brendan pushing Neville and myself to our limits up hill, down hill, along the trenches of mud
