Luas Race 2009

Is on!

On Saturday June 27th we go! Contact the organizing committe if you want to join!

Day after

Part of the race committee and couple of competitors gathered up today to Slattery's to compare photos and feelings. Most participants did not have exactly good night sleep and headache was quite common. These small problems just confirmed that memory's and flashbacks from yesterday were true. Everybody and every flashback had same message - it truly was great fun!

There was one mutual desire for all and this made bill look kind weird - 16 Cokes... I think no one of us never had so much Coke during lunch.

Race finished!

The race finished in style with Team Tallaght reaching Mother Kelly's on Talbot Street close to Busaras Luas stop. Team Tallaght finished their drinks with a few minutes remaining on the clock and brought Team Sandyford to the pub.

The final result of the race is not official until the organizing committee have gone through all photo evidence. We'll need a few days for that. But, I think we certainly can say that the race was a huge success and everyone had a lot of fun. And ordering a pint of Heineken with two ice cubes and one straw with a german accent in a dodgy pub in Kylemore was quite an experience!

Thanks to everyone that participated, and everyone we met along the way!

In case of emergency

Some help in finding pubs along the Luas lines can be found on these links, especially useful for the team on the Sandyford (green) line since there are stops on that line that do not have pubs.
