The riders went off in minute intervals although that did not stop Mr McHenry subtracting 30 seconds, rather than the mathematically simpler 1 minute, from the stop watch times. If nothing else the "30 second subtract" test keeps the mind razor sharp.
The Lonnens were their usual tardy selves. Rumour has it that it may be Dave at fault - spending time doing his hair or something. Definitely would not be Mrs Lonnen!
Enda was not so much as a DNF but a THU (Throw Head Up). The THU was attributed to a lack of calories in the diet.
Next week we are back brick training with our close relatives (QUB) at the Harbour Estate.
Start time: 6.15 meet for 6.30 start
New meeting point: FIRST INDUSTRIAL/OFFICE CAR PARK ON THE LEFT OFF MOSCOW ROAD LOOP (looking over at IKEA)
