The last event in the series is on at the end of August and would be great to see a big turn out.

Laters,

Adrian

Well done a great series, congrats. My bro in law was up at it and thought it was very good.

Now, I'm not having a go at anyone, etc....but!

3 dev races in kippure, but only 2 open races in Dublin area this year. Maybe the kippure race next year could be an open series that includes sports class?

Hi John,

The Kippure thing has two sports classes A & B with the A consisting of 6 laps and the B taking 3 laps of the same course.

Events like this are all about the sports and underage classes but all are welcome.

I think what Mr.Tomac is saying Adrian that if you're going to the trouble of getting a venue, marking out a course etc. that you run other classes to increase participation....
Biking is good for you.......

Ah I hear you now, well I only give the tiniest bit of help on the day.

The guys at IMBRC did all the hard work in putting out the course etc.

I wouldn't be my place to say sure lets expand the classes, who knows what might happen for the finial event, I'm sure the lads are taking every thing on board.
