Patrick CarrollApr 24 2023, 2:17pmHow's it going,

Thanks for throwing the route up, very handy.

A question for anyone who is familiar with the route - Do you think something like X-Talons or Trailfly's would be needed or would you get away with a bit less grip and more cushioning?

Sound,

Patrick
Deirdre GalvinApr 24 2023, 2:20pmHi Patrick,
My memory is of a lot of hardpacked surfaces. So my preference would be a bit of cushion. Yes, some grip will help but it's not open mountain.

Edel HennessyApr 24 2023, 3:43pmHi Patrick, I was out yesterday on some of the route. There was a few very small patches of mud through the trees but I would going for cushioning rather than grip. Some of those patches may even be dried up by the weekend if this weather holds. Lots of hard packed surfaces. It's looking good!

Andrew HowardApr 24 2023, 4:10pmSpeaking of cushioning, if anyone is looking for an unused pair of recently bought Speedgoat 5's, Size 11.5 in the flaming red/orange colour, drop me a message back!
Patrick CarrollApr 24 2023, 8:30pmThanks very much Deirdre & Edel!

Bernard HealyApr 28 2023, 10:31amCan I still collect my race number before the start. I haven't been to any events this year so I haven't been able to collect it.
Edel HennessyApr 28 2023, 11:11amYes, you can collect this year's race number at registration.
Barbara GillApr 28 2023, 4:00pmJust to confirm can I start the 1/2 at 10am tomorrow morning? and if so do I just check in etc. Thanks
Robbie WilliamsApr 28 2023, 4:30pmYes
Robbie WilliamsApr 28 2023, 4:32pmThe marshal needs to verify your start time. Note that all early starts will be at the end of the regular results
