Dromara CC Club
League - Round 13
25 mile or 16 mile TT - Banbridge Road, Castlewellan (map)
25 June 2009
Round
13 of Dromara Cycling Club's Thursday night league took place this
evening on the road to Banbridge from Castlewellan. On offer
tonight was the club's longest time trial, 25 miles, as well as the
shorter 16 mile challenge. The increased distance did not put off
the club members with 33 riders taking part, almost 2.5 times more than
at last years event. This may have had something to do with
the excellent cycling weather we have had all week.
Sorting
out the riders and their starting order was Peter Bryson and Derek
Hanna. The majority (24) of the riders opted for the longer
distance and first away was Val O'Neill with husband Phil setting off 5
minutes behind Val. Also taking part in the 25 mile event was
club secretary Trevor Annett competing in his first event of the year.
In was good to see Paul Smyth back competing on the bike after
his fall two weeks ago.
Taking part in her first time
trial with the club was Mary Hunter who opted for the shorter 16
mile distance. Also taking part in the 16 mile event
was junior sensation Sean Downey now with french team VC La Pomme.
Fastest
in the 25 mile trial was David McKnight who again finished under the
hour and managed to shave 1 minute 23 seconds off his time from
last year. Behind David was long distance expert Nigel
Sudlow who had managed to finish 2 minutes and 46 seconds faster than
he did last year but just over 4 minutes behind David. Neill
Currie was third fastest just ahead of the recovered Paul Smyth.
Further down the list and the rivarly between brothers Chris and
Gavin continued with younger brother Chris getting the upper hand
finishing over 2½ minutes ahead of Gavin. Trevor made an
ill-advised attempt to repair his speedo while cycling and managed to
cut the top of his finger on the spokes and spend the next mile nursing
his wounds.
In the 16 mile event it was no surprise that
semi-pro Sean Downey finished first in an excellent 34 minutes 17
seconds. Behind Sean was another visitor James Adair from West
Down Wheelers who finished in 43 minutes 27 seconds. First
Dromara rider back was Stephen Wallace taking just over 45 minutes.
Many
thanks to all the time keepers and marshalls. Next week we are
back to the 10 mile time trials this time on the Killyleagh Road in
Downpatrick.

minus 20 minutes. For those with an asterisk, the handicaps were
taken from 2008. For those with a #, their handicaps were worked
out by using the 10 mile equivalent time tonight and taking off 20
minutes.
