Congratulations to Rudolf, who was crowned 2010 Club Champion at our delayed end-of-year shindig last Saturday night.
For those who don’t know, the club championship is decided by a points systems which rewards participation and improvement in our sports.
Rudolf is well known and respected on the Irish MTB scene, and a great asset to our club. Throughout 2010 Rudolf represented Racing795 with distinction all over Ireland, improving all the way.
He seems pretty determined to hang onto the cup so good luck to all challengers in 2011!
Racing795 is hosting Leinster XC League Round 1 on 20th March. Preparation is already underway and we’ll be posting more info here in the coming weeks. Meanwhile here’s the course preview from 2010 to whet your appetite.
A “1-2-3” for the girls, winner Lorraine flanked by Ciara (2nd) and Joy (3rd).
The sunshine made a welcome return this morning for Round 3 of the R795 Winter Time Trial league. Lorraine Byrne was the worthy winner on the day with a big improvement on her previous time. Ciara and Joy also made significant improvements, coming home second and third respectively. Martin put out the megawatts and got around in the fastest gross time. Well done to everyone who took part and thanks to Tom, Ruairi and Paul for marshalling.
The club duathlon which takes place on 20th February will also double as the Winter TT league Round 4. Should make for an interesting twist in the tale.
Brrrr! Adrian, Tom and Martin at the Wexford Senior XC Champs
Congratulations to Tom Hogan who took 2nd place, despite a recent injury, at the Wexford senior cross country championships last Sunday. Martin Mimnagh and Adrian Ryan also put in strong performances at the race, which was won by Adrian’s brother, Dominic Ryan of Sliabh Buidhe Rovers.
