A couple of riders at the world cup in Dalby and a couple of riders not going to make the long drive to Kerry made this race tempting. We left the house at 7:45am, not too bad, and we reached the course in 3:15, very good. The venue was poor, up a crappy road to a crappy field with a stunning mountain view. The course consisted of a nice open climb, a nice tech descent, and then 4km of crappy rough fields…..right, lets get on with it!
I had a good race, Evan and I played out the 1st half of the race together, than I put the head down and pulled a small gap and keep it going to the finish. Tough race, kidneys pounded to bits, but a win is a win…..leading the overall series now, happy days.
This was my 1st race on the new hardtail, incredible, rode very well and didn’t put a tyre wrong.
Ray had a tough day, a couple of falls made the going tough, and he rolled home to take 12th.
The next NPS is in 2 weeks in Lady Dixon Park in Belfast, couldn’t be more different. Flat n fast.
