In a great night of racing on a tough circuit the fast men(and woman) came out to play and made a great night of close racing with a great finale in our penultimate race of the year. The circuit at Kilmacurragh always favours a strong rider with a kick as the finish is uphill on […]
A battle royale took place on the Ballymurin circuit last night with the main protagonist’s fighting it out right to the line on this uphill sprint finish in the club road race championship.

A great result for the ladies of the club last night, in the third race of the season on the Corncrake circuit with Jackie MacNamee taking full honours followed in second by Aine MacCarthy, who dropped the two riders in her group on the final climb to claim ten points. Great to see two club […]
