Hey Fergal, this will be one of the NPS highlights of 2012 if its dry! If its wet it’ll be fun!

Good going Dave, sounded like a tough but enjoyable course, hopefully it’ll be a bit drier for the NPS down there, if not, then it’s not like we’ll all be terrified by the sight of mud, we’ve all encountered it at least once or twice before I’d say!

Hi Noel. Not gonna lie, this is a tough race course. Not for complete beginners, and you will need some degree of fitness. Total lap length will be somewhere around 4.5km with a fair bit of technical singletrack. Sounds like you would be an S4 rider so you'd be doing 2 laps. Suggest you check out Offroad Cycling site for lots of useful racing info, and definitely recommend doing one of the Biking Blitz races if you can beforehand. Drop us an email if you have any further queries. Cheers, R795

Hi guys, just wondering how long the coarse is I am only getting back into mountain biking after 20 years but I am not fit enough. I was in Kilbranish two weeks ago, nearly had a heart attack going uphill and went flat out back down. I am 43 going on 16 and would love to get more involved in mountain biking. Any help would be great.

Richard, I had a feeling you were quietly enjoying my misfortune
In fairness you rode a very smart consistent race. I certainly learned from it so watch out next year! Cheers, DC.

Cheers Fergal, the “report” has become something of a club tradition.

A great day out, made better by finally managing to get to a finish in front of you pair! In fairness you had me beaten until you decided to do some bog snorkling – once I’d established that you were ok I did smile just a little!!
