2012 Chain Reaction Cycles Winter Series Round 1 Results

Chain Reaction Cycling Club are pleased to announce they will be holding two winter series events in Bigwood Forest, Newry on 29th January and 26th February 2012.

I met Cameron about 4 years ago at my first ever race, he was the guy that used to always smoke me even on his hardtail. He is still at it. Just to note I did once beat him in 2010. Good times ha ha. Anyway still good friends with Cameron despite him being from the arse end of nowhere! I have been down to his house a few times - its more of a go build a downhill track than will ya cut the grass down there?
