Barry Byrne, Club Champ 2009
Congratulations to Barry Byrne who was last night crowned Club Champion. The club championship rewards the person who best exemplifies the club’s core values of participation and improvement in our sports.
Throughout 2009 Barry participated in no less than nine events, improving all the way through sheer determination and effort.
The challenge is out there for next year folks. As Barry said in his closing remarks, “Come and get it!”

What a backdrop! Thank you weather gods.
Attack position. One finger braking. Trackstands. Bunny hops. Just some of the skills learned (and re-learned!) at our MTB training day with two of Ireland’s finest, Niall Davis and Tarja Owens of biking.ie
There were 15 trainees ranging from zero to several years’ MTB experience. It is a great testament to Niall and Tarja’s abilities that we all learned loads. Everyone said more or less the same thing afterwards – “Can’t wait to get back out there and practise!”
Thanks, on behalf of everyone, to David Furlong who organised the day. I have a feeling your fireplace will become legendary!

Under starter's orders.
A total of 26 riders braved the bright and breezy conditions this morning for Round 2 of our club time trial league. The handicap system worked very well with only a few minutes separating the bulk of the field. It made for exciting racing with some excellent battles out on the course.
Aisling Foley was the winner on the day, with Olly O’Neill putting in the fastest gross time. Well done to Aisling, Olly and everyone else who put in a big effort.
Thanks to David F and Martin who stepped out of today’s race to perform timekeeping and marshaling duties.
Thanks also to our welcome guests from Clody Cycling Club and elsewhere. Your support is very much appreciated.

Our club Winter Handicap Time Trial League Round 2 takes place this Sunday 15th November. Please assemble 10am sharp at Spellman Park GAA grounds, Kildavin. For those of you who don’t know it, head out the Carlow road from Bunclody for about 3km until you see the exit ramp for Kildavin on your left. At the bottom of the ramp turn right under the flyover and then right and quick left through the crossroads in Kildavin village. Drive for about 500m and Spellman Park is on your right. You can’t miss it!
