Busy Weekend for the Club

The club had a busy weekend with members taking part in the Lacey Cup, a club spin and a church gate collection.

Fair play to our members that took part in the Lacey cup making up the biggest field to race together ever in Munster with 235 riders signing on. Pa Breen got himself into an early break of 5 which lead the field onto the climb of Gleann na Gealt. Tom Barrett was very prominent at the end section of the race holding onto the A1 group onto the Castlemaine climb and finished well up the field. Hugh McSweeney also did very well in one of the top groups as did Darragh Looney. Hopefully this willl set them up for the other races. The Cycling Pursuits cup in Broadford is next Sundays event which has a big hill on each circuit which may suit some of our riders!!

The website Sticky Bottle has some great videos and photos of the Lacey Cup event and a special thanks to Eamonn Breen and Tom Kenny for their support including fast wheels for Pa – ask him yourself what to bring to a race !!

The Club spins go ahead as normal Sunday Currow at 10am and McElligotts Castleisland at 7pm on Wednesday nights. Can everyone please finish off their memberships with Paudie as he has been working hard to get everyone a licence and deserves great credit.

There are a few places left in the Scellig on March 23rd if anyone interested. 65 euro for Dinner, bed and breakfast per person with the use of the leisure facilities etc

Give me a call if interested 087 7849879

Finally thank you to all our collectors and supporters at the collection – much appreciated by the club treasurers and all club members
