Full results and photos courtesy of www.raceface.ie and review below from our long time friend in Mayo, Padraig Marrey (Western Lakes) The aim of the event was to highlight an old path from Newport to Mulranny, used in the olden days by locals, travelers, farmers, and herders.
Dear participant, thanks again for taking part in the inaugural event, like all new events we got some things right and need to improve on others. We still think you enjoyed the day judging by all the smiles we saw in the photos… if you haven’t logged on to social media to check out the photos see https://www.facebook.com/Raceface-events-1389388431368592 We have the full event report here>> https://www.raceface.ie/local-knowledge-key-factor-for-inaugural-newport-win/ with all the breakdowns of the timing section…We have a big gravel weekend on September 17 &18th, on Saturday we have the Skelp Blast and on Sunday we have Gravel Grind West with various distances. For the next week or so we will leave the early bird option open, so grab a bargain cause once they are gone they are gone.. Entry here https://www.raceface.ie/gravel-grind-west/ If you have any recommendations for us please let us know, we want to make the event bigger and better for next year but remember we are a small operator and are not like the big corporate gigs. Support Local!! Look forward to seeing you again, Padraig & Bryan ( go to www.raceface.ie for more info)
