After a year of uncertainty the club was delighted to be in a position to get the long awaited summer race league begun in July over an eight week period.
The deserving winner after a well fought series of 8 races is one of our long serving club members Alan Mac Namee who has been with the club for at least 40 years. A winner previously although decades before Alan was strong and consistent performer across the season winning outright race 7.
At the outset it was not clear how many events we would be able to run. Our priority was to ensure that our racing members would get as much racing as possible and with this in mind we included all the championships in the League but on a handicap basis for the league result. Eight events were run between early July and early September. Our only hitch in all of these was the movement of a flock of sheep on the course of the 25mile TT/L2!Unfortunately, we were unable to run the club road race championship due to a combination of the availability of circuits, key members and the introduction of Level 3 restrictions.

In organising these events along with George O Rourke, Paul O Donoghue, Patrick Bradshaw and Dave Peelo it was uplifting to have the support of so many non – participants each Thursday evening who turned up to offer their services to marshal. The club would like to say a special thanks to Aine McCarthy, Paul Murray, Karl Thomas, Michael Wildes, Joanne O Shea, Stephen Healy and Gillian Peelo. Without their effort, commitment and good humour, organising and running our club races under difficult circumstance would not have been possible. They are true heroes of our club…
