Entries from all corners of the land (Photo Sharon)

A very pleasant day it was with sunshine in abandon, and a good number of entries to make it a perfect day for the kids and their parents visiting the venue. Bishopscourt lends himself well for cycling events…no traffic to deal with, good viewing points, all facilities including food and hot drinks van and big parking within the compound. A very pro approach from the organising promoters (CUYA) and Phoenix CC, who had the event in conjunction with the Cycling Ulster Women’s Commission (see report later this week) When you see people traveling from as far as Killarney show’s you how much it means for the parents to get their kids racing again. As I was occupied as MC didn’t have much chance of taking photos, and the ones I did not very good, so I asked Sharon and Toby to borrow a few, I have attached a link to their photos below, and very grateful for their input…a very successful round 3 of the league indeed!! Peter Brown from CUYA told social media >>> Well, 3 rounds down and all went to plan today as we learned from our mistakes from last time at Bishopscourt, and we had great weather and great commentary and some interesting selection of Music provided by MC we all love, Dany Blondeel. Special thanks to Martin Molloy, Dunloy CC who not only did the timekeeping on the youth round but also offered his services to the Women’s Commission. Some brilliant photos online by Toby Watson and Sharon McFarland, keep an eye out for them on Facebook.
Thanks to the parents who helped with marshaling on the course in between their own children’s races. Special thanks to all the youth riders for making it a wonderful Safe day.
