Great to hear we are going to have ya guys. Was getting a bit worried about the turnout being small as I know people are away and committed to other things. Anyway I am sure we will have a great day as usual. Now that the printing is done I better see if the car will start as I am 8 hours behind tonight as I was called into work of all things today out of the blue.

Jeez lads that was some run lol lol . what a 'Mini adventure' that turned into , you had to be there to understand but what happened on the mountains will probably end up on u-tube !!!!!!! for those of you interested it involved wind turbines , lakes , gravel roads , grass roads , gates , barriers , junior hacksaws , blunt blades , helicopter , and some of the funniest sights I have witnessed for years ;) :blob8: well done Richard for an entertaining day I bet you didn't expect to be using the toolbox !!!!!! .

As above ^^^^^^ lol lol lol

Haven't laughed, cried or enjoyed a Mini Run as much in a long long time!!! :)
"Eventful" is one word to describe the mayhem and pure unadulterated FUN we lucky souls experienced today!
Richard fair play to you! You pulled off a cracking Mini Run and the hours and late nights of work that you put into this event paid off in spades! :)
I am so delighted i went to this event with only getting 2 and a half hours sleep and no sleep at all for tonight's night shift :1icon_eek: So so worth it for the memories of today. Take a bow Richard ;)
Thanks to Chris Blackham and Richard's toolbox and all who helped in the final part of our FUN packed Mini Run :)

Absolutely CLASS, what a laugh. I thought it was all over twice today, once fishtailing on gravel, and later when the chopper turned up...
Big thanks to Richard, it was a great day out even before some bright spark decided to take a slight detour!!!!
Glad to hear ye got home in one piece Fergal you were fairly knackered looking there before the great escape....

The Cork 100 Tshirt was still up in the window of Mojoes tonight!

Fantastic photos lads, May have to change the name next year to Cork 100 plus. and Derek I believe you would have enjoyed this event as we tested the limits at times. The memories live on.
