We are running a duathlon on Sunday the 21st of February for a bit of fun. All are welcome, members and non-members. The start will be at 10am sharp, at Spellman Park GAA grounds in Kildavin. Barry will be setting up a state-of-the-art transition area as a practice run for Tri795. The race will incorporate a gentle 3km run, a 20km bike and a 3km sprint to the finish. See you all Sunday!

Congratulations to Siobhan Mimnagh, our first ever Time Trial League Champion.
Siobhan proudly displaying the magnificent TT trophy
Siobhan had a healthy points lead going into today’s final round having improved consistently throughout the series. However, it wasn’t all plain sailing on the day as mechanical difficulties threatened to scupper Siobhan’s ambitions. However, our champion rose to the challenge and did just enough to get home and finish the series ahead of the chasing pack.
The winner on the the day was Paul Hutton, coming out on top with best gross and handicap times.
Overall the series has been a great success, providing a focal point for members over the winter months, both socially and competitively. Credit is due to all who took part and did timing and marshalling. Special thanks on everyone’s behalf to David Furlong who came up with the idea and made it happen.

The final round of the Winter Time Trial league takes place this Sunday 7th February. Same time and place as usual – 10.00 am sharp at Spellman Hall, Kildavin. It will be held over the short course, i.e. the same course as we used on 17th January.
Siobhan still holds the lead with 6 points, followed by Joy on 12. Next is Martin on 15, with Barry and Paul Hutton on 17. So all to play for.
All are welcome, members and non-members. If you are coming along for the first time, make sure your bike is in good working order, you have a helmet and that you familiarise yourself with the route as follows.
ROUTE DESCRIPTION: Starting at Spellman Park, ride into Kildavin and towards Bunclody. There will be a marshalled turnaround point just before the speed limit heading into Bunclody. At this point we will turn back and head all the way to Ballon on the main road, turning around again at the first roundabout (at the Londis/Top garage), and back to Kildavin on the main road.
