The last round of the Fixx Coffee Supercross was held at Russborough House. I have leading the over all from round 1 and needed to finish 3rd to get the over all win. The course was a balance of tyre pressure, to hard loose in the corners in the lower half. To spot risk a … Continue reading Fixx rd 4
So out looking at Tullycarnet park as a possible venue for our race on the 7th January 2018. This park seems ok, now to see if the guys like it too and to get the ball rolling with the council. Plenty of paperwork and forms to fill in. If your needing any help give me … Continue reading Sourcing a Venue, not a “crap course”
A hard weekend at Britsih National Trophy round 1 at Derby. Saturday night boat to Liverpool and a 2hr drive to Derby. Seemed like the best plan on paper, but a 5am wake-up call was a shock to the system. I never got going in my race and lacked any sort of power and momentum. Small … Continue reading Derby Cyclocross
So a few years back we started the ball rolling with Stormont regarding a cyclocross race. The area's that we wanted to use was well out of bounds, a big NO NO. We were shown another area of Stormont that we never knew existed. Lovely area but wouldn't have worked as a cyclocross course. At … Continue reading Throwback: We got to see Stormont Castle

Took the new GoPro to the Giants matchs. A first for myself. Sunday saw a bit of training at Stormont, then the real session, beat the street with the kids. Followed by treats at "al gelato", Ormeau Rd. https://youtu.be/LBCM5HidcOs
2015 Larne cyclocross. Probaly on paper one of the dullest area's to run a cyclocross race. But Madigan always make a great course some tight features with the banks. https://youtu.be/4heQoOrT4bI
Start of this week was all based around building a Trek madone 9.9. A few hours spent working on this beauty. Unfortunetly not my bike. Also had some runners flag my bike ride on stava as I am using a forerunner. Hill reps on Tuesday where I was not at the meeting. https://youtu.be/cZpPR23xW2E
In 2005 Kinning Cycles & I ventured to Belguim. The Homeland of cycling, never mind cyclocross. I was the only rider to race as another club member pulled out at the last moment. This passion funded from racing the World Cup the year before at Miltion Keynes. I took on GP Hasselt, part of the … Continue reading Throwback: Racing in Belgium 2015 (Hasselt & Koksijde)
So each season I sit down look at the calendar and work some sort of scheduled out. Pick the races I'd like to do and note the ones I can't make. Obviously, life can affect this as we go, sickness, work and family life. It's a good idea to look at the season, work … Continue reading Cyclocross schedule
