The 2023 Orchard CC "Armagh Criterium" at the Marlacoo Lake near Craigavon was held last night (Wed 10th May) A small field (14) but still competitive enough to entertain us spectators...Well done to Ian Inglis (Kinning Cycles) Hopefully on Saturday the "Groucho's GP" in Richhill has the numbers, as clubs like Orchard CC can not keep taking such blow to the chin!! Please support such races, as soon they could be lost!!

1st Prime Ian Inglis-Kinning Cycles (above leading the pack)

Commissaire on duty Aaron Wallace (Banbridge CC) and race director of his clubs open events (above)…He brought also the news that the Banbridge GP is cancelled this Friday due to not being viable to run…only 16 signed on by yesterday noon, and to risky to run, not mentioning the cost of it all, and closing a town centre for a few dozens riders is just wrong, and financially just to much…The Groucho’s GP is on Saturday 13th May in Richhill and still many places left…here the entry link >> https://eventmaster.ie/event/86qDs7qTV1…Hope this one get his numbers as getting a blow twice in one week is no good for the club’s funds!!
