Barry and Frank get some last minute coaching from Aoibhinn

It was a bright and breezy start to our traditional Winter Time Trial league last Sunday. Fourteen members and guests of all abilities took part in the 30 km handicap race which started and finished at Spellman Park, Kildavin. Ciara Dunne was the winner on the day, with fastest gross time going to Mick Foley in a new course record. Thanks to Jim, Dena, Lorraine, Fintan and Yvonne for organising and marshalling. The handicapper will be hard at work adjusting the handicaps to ensure some close racing next time. Round 2 takes place in the same location, Spellman Park on Sunday 1st December at 10am.

Mt Leinster MTB Challenge – Results and thanks.

Posted on July 9, 2013 by racing795

Thank you to everyone who came and took part in the Racing795 Mount Leinster MTB Challenge. It was an absolute pleasure to welcome you all to Bunclody.

We were blown away by the speed of the S1 racers at the sharp end. They just can’t help it, racing is in their DNA. “Not a race? I don’t understand.”

We were equally blown away by the achievements of some riders at the other end of the field. OK, they might have taken four hours to get around, but in another life they might have spent Sunday in bed or on a barstool.

Most of all, we were delighted with the way everyone got into the spirit of it. Fast or slow, tall or small, at the end of the day we’re all mountain bikers riding great trails in a beautiful country. It’s good to do it together once in a while.
