| Justin O'Keeffe | Jul 8 2013, 2:44pm | Thanks Maike , sounds great- we're just getting started on organising the food for the BBQ - will be putting out a call for salads & deserts shortly - thanks Justin & Conor |
| Richard Nunan | Jul 9 2013, 10:22am | A note from the Swedish Chefs, Conor and Justin. The Leinster League IMRA BBQ will be immediately after the SugarBowl race on July 17th at the Glencormac Inn. IMRA provides all meat, burger buns, condiments and a vegetarian option. To help support the event, we need as many members as possible to bring along a salad or dessert to feed the masses. There is a nominal charge of 4 Euro per person which is waived for anybody who brings a salad. |
| Laura Flannelly | Jul 9 2013, 10:34am | Hello there Please let me know when a list goes out re salad/desserts. Will bring along some baked goodies. Laura |
| Emma Hand | Jul 9 2013, 11:57am | Hi Richerd, I've requested to volunteer at the sugar bowl race. I'm a sports massage therapist so I was going to suggest that I can bring my couch along and do pre and post-event massage if you like? You can contact me on 0876849235. Thanks, Emma Hand |

| Odhran Hendley | Jul 12 2013, 8:34pm | Hi Richard, Just in case your looking for the marking gear I picked it up from Derek on Wednesday and I have it in my boot. Not sure if i got it all but have 2 rolls of tape and some other bits. I'll be checking out the route over the weekend and i'll sort out the items I have and see if i'll need anything extra for wednesday. Odhran |
| Eva Fairmaner | Jul 13 2013, 2:58pm | I am making Cheese and Herb Sausages (or if you are posh...Glamorgan Sausages) but would like to know how many people roughly I will cater for? They will be cooked on a separate BBQ than the meat ones too! |

| Richard Nunan | Jul 16 2013, 9:03am | *************************** Further Race Information ************************ Route ------- This is a pretty long technical 6km. It is wet, very rocky, there are boulders and multiple single track paths where you will not be able to over take. Especially the last 1 km of the descent. The growth is not too bad (ran it tonight)but muddy. We will be going with the same route as last year. So you will be ascending on the right and keeping on your right descending from the peak. We will have 4 marshals on the course. Race start at GAA and Finish under the Barrier. Volunteers ----------- We have more than enough Volunteers for tomorrow night - Volunteers should show up at 6:00pm at the Glencormac Inn. BBQ Volunteers - Please see Justin and Conor in the Car Park Justin OKeeffe Conor OMeara Nicola Neve / Crean Cathal Kearney Dermot Murphy Paula Keohan Eva Fairmaner Laura Schwirz Mikey Fry Elaine O Brien Lawlor Emma Hand Justin O Connor All others come to me and you will be assigned roles on the night. Transport ----------- The Race is served by Dublin Transport There is a bus, number 84X, leaving Eden Quay at 17:30 that will get you to the event on time. http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/84x/ Note that there are two 84X's leaving at the same time - it is the one heading for Newtownmountkennedy that you need to get. Carpool ----------- Please Carpool - no access to Glencormac Inn carpark to single occupied cars who are attending the Race. Registration ------------- Closes at 7:15 SHARP End of League Prize will be given out adjacent to registration NO EARLY STARTS ----------------- |
| Richard Nunan | Jul 16 2013, 9:04am | Please ignore the route description - I will update that tonight - its far from wet and very overgrown currently - will fix some of that later. |
| John Condon | Jul 16 2013, 9:33am | Richard, I have the money float (€50 in €1/€2). I'll be there for 6pm. Regards, John |
| Jill Walker | Jul 16 2013, 1:35pm | Do we park at the Glencormac Inn or at the GAA club? If the GAA club, would someone mind letting me know where it is? Thanks |
| Richard Nunan | Jul 16 2013, 2:31pm | As per the earlier post "Volunteers should show up at 6:00pm at the Glencormac Inn. BBQ Volunteers - Please see Justin and Conor in the Car Park" |
| Richard Nunan | Jul 16 2013, 10:16pm | Route Update.Dry, rocky, and sandy. Oran has done an incredible job beating back the ferns tonight. Narrow on the final descent. Please don't park outside he GAA like last year. This is part of the route as we will be taking a sharp right just before we hit the road and crossing this area. Finish is under the rusty barrier that you pass on the way out. Start will be 500meters approx before the GAA entrance. It's going to be a warm one!!! |
| Maike Jürgens | Jul 16 2013, 11:32pm | i just made a gluten/nut free chocolate cake - watch out for it if you are allergic to either! |
| John Coleman | Jul 17 2013, 2:37pm | I won't be able to make the race or BBQ tonight so was wondering what are the options for collecting end of league prizes?? |
| Richard Kieran | Jul 17 2013, 11:28pm | Thanks to all the volunteers and helpers for a great race and BBQ - the IMRA spirit at it's best! |
| Paul Cullen | Jul 17 2013, 11:46pm | Thanks to all for a great race and feed tonight. I left behind a black and white singlet in the car park in case anyone comes across it. |
| Laura Flannelly | Jul 18 2013, 9:07am | Thanks for a great finish to the Wednesday league. We couldn't have asked for a better night! My first year at the BBQ and really enjoyed it. Could whoever made those lovely nutty bars please tell me the secret recipe? They were absolutely divine. Thanks, Laura |
| John Condon | Jul 18 2013, 9:31am | Big thanks to Justin, Conor and the rest of the BBQ Crew last night. The grub was yum. @Laura, think those were mine. Drop me a mail at jcondon72 at gmail.com and I'll send you the recipe. John |
| Dermot Murphy | Jul 18 2013, 10:14am | Quick note on the results - Martin McDonald was 5th - race number 2691. I think he must of got a new number in error - 1245 - on the night and also under an incorrect name, which is probably why it was not picked up - Martin McDonagh on the results. |
| Gerard Keating | Jul 18 2013, 11:11am | Hi, I see my result for last nights run but I don't see my name down in the over all league standings? I have completed the 7 races. /Ger |
| Paul Nolan | Jul 18 2013, 11:28am | Just want to thank all the organisers for making last night happen. And to belatedly thank Adrian White for his curiosity on the final narrow run to the finish. |
| James H Cahill | Jul 18 2013, 11:38am | Thank you to all the volunteers - race and BBQ, for last night. The food was delicious and the BBQ great fun. Thank you to the daring explorers who cut the routes through the ferny jungle to make the race possible. |
| Paul Nolan | Jul 18 2013, 11:42am | Courtesy not curiosity. Feckin spell checker. |
| Feilim Borland | Jul 18 2013, 1:29pm | Thanks John Condon and Colin Doyle for the first aid on my elbow. Doctor said it was cleaned up nicely. Gave me a nice little band aid and sent me on my way :-) |
| colin doyle | Jul 18 2013, 1:36pm | Your more than welcome Feilim, I think you get the award of "wound of the league" I've never seen so much blood from a small puncture.. Brian O Murchu mentioned to me that he actually followed the blood spots down the mountain so thanks for the extra marking. |
| Jeff Swords | Jul 18 2013, 2:00pm | John Shiels had asked me if the blood tracks were mine at the BBQ after I went head over heels in front of him, must have been a fair bit. |
| Brendan Lawlor | Jul 18 2013, 4:59pm | Great finish off to this years league - thank you Richard and all volunteers. And superb job on the BBQ Justin and Conor and all your merry volunteers - the salad lady from Roundwood was especially nice to me (Robert Malseed take note!) |
| Mick Hanney | Jul 18 2013, 9:30pm | Wonderful event last evening, thanks all. Super photos uploaded. John - you have outdone yourself! The IMRA yearbook could comprise just Sugarloaf snaps at this rate. |
| Justin O'Keeffe | Jul 18 2013, 9:46pm | Sincere thanks to all the BBQ volunteers for running a great evening under pressure - they might go pro next year! Thanks to John Ahern for the sponsorship from Big Als (Kepak Group) for helping us keep the cost down. Finally - the range of salads & deserts brought along were simply outstanding, thank so much to all who brought those along, it made for a lovely evening. Anyone got the recipe for the sweet potato salad & dressing? |
| Aideen Keenan | Jul 19 2013, 4:59pm | Well blow me down, someone wants the sweet potato salad recipe. And I was worried that the vast amount of onion would render it inedible! Theoretically it came from the BBC Good Food website http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2303651/sweet-potato-salad , but I fiddled about with the dressing and included a lot more honey than recommended and threw in a ton of fresh mint to offset the onion. So it was good then? Didn't even get to sample it myself. Oh and by the by, thanks for a great first season IMRA - I am well and truly hooked. My first volunteering post begins next week, so let's hope I'm still as enthusiastic after I get the behind the scenes, as it were. |
| Brian O Murchu | Jul 20 2013, 12:03am | Non-race report up! |
| Warren Swords | Jul 20 2013, 11:17am | Cheers to everyone for Wednesday. Great race and BBQ. Some very tasty food on offer, particularly the cakes. |
| Maike Jürgens | Jul 23 2013, 10:39am | thanks everyone for organising, Eva, the Cheese and Herb Sausages you made were fantastic, any chance i can get the recipe of you? |
| Rene Borg | Aug 10 2013, 10:14pm | Team results are up. |
