"I have noticed that the people who are late are often so much jollier than the people who have to wait for them." - Edward Verrall Lucas
The spectre of the Killynure Hills was almost overshadowed by the late start and kicked off some out-of-character tardiness rhetoric from World Champion McHenry. The organisers have decided that from now on 6:30 will be the cut off for sign-on.
Over at the Carryduff layby Glen was seen prising a crisp £20 note from Enda's mitten. Good to see Enda is now fully committed to the league. Don't worry, Enda does not look at this site so he will not be offended :)
A few faces from last year made their season debut this week. Welcome back. It is good to see so many of the girls taking part. Up at the front we have Judith Lowry and Alison McConnell but watch out for the fast improving Angela Burns this season.
There were some winners, losers and hard luck stories in the male race. Last weeks winner Stephen McWilliams got stuck behind a silver car out to the turn which stopped his chances of having a go at Paul Carroll. Also, the dreadlocked wonderboy Allum scored a victory over rival Enda (obviously not having a good night).
I won't mention the stop-watch incident near the end. Let's just say we have two stop watches which can be left hanging around the neck if one's hands must be put into warm jacket pockets!
Please do not be put off by the 2UP next week. It is fun and if you are paired with someone better than you it is a good learning experience and you will get to draft. As an incentive there will prizes for first and second places awarded on the night.
