There was a great turnout of 33 riders this week for the tough out and back Killynure course. A big hello to all the first timers and a welcome back to all the stars of last year.
It was good to see so many of the ladies back this year. Top among them was Emma sporting a fashionable meshed bib and rock-n-roll leather shoulder pads. Obviously the Winter training is paying off.
The course record of 20.57 was broken by the top three riders. Enda managed to lose some of last weeks stodginess and got ahead of Vaughan. However, newcomer and Olympian triathlete Paul was well out ahead at the front.
I will try and get all your surnames for the results next week.
Next week is a hill climb, starting at the Homestead on the Hillhall Road. Please park down at the car park opposite the church and cycle up. Until then don't forget to eat plenty and crank up some ELO on the stereo.
