Maria mc Allister (TC Racing) on her way to take the junior girl 1st place

A dark morning, the rain stayed away, but the riders had to deal with a crosswind which was evident, with slower times than round 3 last Thursday. A few new faces, such as the SportActive Birney’s, and fellow Donegal men Ted Mc Caffrey and 69-year-old Willy John Gallagher who joined Carl Fullerton as Donegal Bay testers. Again well done Island Wheelers and your volunteers, including the time team for the swift result! Everything smoothly executed. and ready for the next round on Thursday the 27th of August.

Martin Birney competing in the M60 cat (His cycling holiday firm SportActive in Majorca still not allowed to operate, even Majorca is open for tourist)
Willie John Gallagher 69-year-old Donegal Bay man who could give next year Carl Fullerton (his teammate) a run for his money in the + 70 cat
