Quite a squad last night with 8 people at Shaws - Robbie, Chris, Graham, Stuart, Cameron, Adam, Ronan and myself - Ronan on his cross-bike. One or two mechanicals in the car park and then off around the usual loop - although at pace! Around the Belvoir pitches a few times and down the trails and then on to the 3rd climb of the night - Vomit Ridge. It was a tight pack with each person looking to see who would break away: Stuart patrolling position changes. It was a late break before off they shot, Adam and Chris on the front closely followed by Stuart and Cameron not letting them out of their sites. Who will take Stuart's crown of 1min 3 ? Not this time... Around the Golf Course paths the 8 of us plowed on for the Motte where again the speed kicked and people rocketed off to the car park - I was starting to lose it. Lagan Meadows, Edenderry Meadows all got beasted, around the ring and then a fast one around the field, where my slow ass was holding up the pack as I was taking in the sights and blowing out my ears:). We all regrouped at the red bridge and headed up to Lady Dixon's where I jumped on the front and tried to control the speed along the way. Out through the NPS course and over to Mary Peter's we took a quick breather and then headed for the new trails. Robbie and Adam had worked out a route and some work has been put into such a small space. Some of the trees have been removed and rock features and wooden bridges have been errected in addition to the natural features. One massive loop and then it was back to the start where the Strava folk went for a segment thrash. All back to Shaws again just after 9. Great run...same again next week.

I'm glad you missed out the bit where I went over the bars!

It was some pace last night! My legs blew up on the home run on the towpath trying to keep up with Robbie!
