  1. Awesome video mate! You really captured the day. Tough all round but highly enjoyable. I was glad to see u mention how hard climbing would have been on a hard tail (me!) as I was buggered on some of those climbs. Great meeting you and thanks for the shoutout on Bonked!

  2. Super video man. Really well put together. Enjoyed watching it. I did the big dog at the weekend for the second time and it definitely doesn't get any easier. If you are looking for another event try the Galway gravel grinder. Another superb event. πŸ‘πŸ‘

  3. Great video Connor. Thanks for sharing! I did the Mongrel also…was a great day out! Was my first ever race and thought the hills would never end! Was a tough introduction to Gravel cycling but it didnt put me off…now looking for more local races!

  4. Great video there Connor, that looked like great craic!! I come from a road race and cyclocross background but wouldn't mind giving that a go next year. I have a low gear of 38×36 on my cross bike, would that be low enough to get round?

  5. Hey, nice chatting with you and your wife at the Springsteen concert. Maybe see you in Enniskillen later this year or Girona or Majorca or the Alps πŸ˜‚πŸ˜Ž
