In a week when Belfast saw the introduction of new machinery to join us cyclists in the bus lanes, Drumbo saw a number of legends "gliding" up the hill and for the most part, they made it look effortless.
As predicted, the clash of the titans was close... very close, a mere 4 seconds separating Conor and Glen... it was an even closer contest between Desi and Sean, with 1 second between them.. Its a pity Emma couldn't make it to see how she would have impacted on that tussle! However Steve B kept them honest just a further 12 seconds behind.
Name First run Second Run Total time
Vaughan 7:48 7:50 27:50
Conor P 8:39 8:43 28:43
Glen P 8:41 8:47 28:47
Steve B 9:05 8:59 28:59
Peter McG 9:38 9:45 29:45
Mark G 10:20 10:41 30:41
Desi McH 11:14 11:04 31:04
Sean O'H* 11:48 11:05 31:05
Gary H* 12:28 13:29 33:29
Leeanne S 12:50**
* Sean and Gary had chain issues... in Gary's case, a rookie mistake of taking off in the wrong gear on the second lap!
**Leeanne chose the sensible option of completing one lap only as she is racing at the weekend.. she won't have that excuse next year when she gets her new machine! She'll never know if she could have taken advantage of Gary's chain misadventures to pip him to the line on the second lap...
With thanks to Enda and Geraldine for providing the timings.
