Team Geared Up

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) Our own Jacqueline O’ Hagan was taking part last weekend in an endurance mountain biking event in Scotland called the Ten @ Kirroughtree organised by No Fuss Events. The idea is to complete as many laps as possible of the fast flowing single track and mountain bike trails in 10 hours. Despite a bad fall by Vanessa Harding (pictured above after the fall), Jackie and third team mate Andrew Felton managed to finish an incredible second place!! Congrats to them, that’s a brilliant performance. According to Jackie:

Essentially it was an endurance event MTB race - 10 hours non-stop! It was in Kirroughtree in Sctoland which is a MTB park. We did it as a team of 3 but you could do it as a solo (i know 10 hours non-stop MTBing!), or pairs or trios or quads! We were also in the mixed senior category and I came second. We narrowly missed out on 1st by 6 minutes. Not bad over 10 hours 22 minutes racing I reckon!

I’m loving the grit and determination in that photo!! True spirit!
