Naturally as the schools finish for the summer holidays the weather tucks the sun away and brings a bit of rain out. This sort of weather would send most riders to the turbo but not to the many DCC riders and marshals that arrived at the start line. Also great to see both juniors make a turn without faling off. This weekend sees the Newry 3 Day with Dromara CC sending a strong team (Gavin, David, Ronnie & Matthew A) and with that starting on Friday night all got to practice their marshalling skills. Good Luck Lads!

This report see’s a new reporter trying his hand at this dark art. This how young Matthew A saw the TT roll out:

“He’ll probably still beat me on his road bike!” – Nathan proving his ability to gauge the form of Lindsay Watson.

A miserable Thursday evening on the Lurgan Road brought out only the toughest of racers and marshals, it also brought out some very impressive times!  Lindsay Watson was the overall winner with a fantastic time of 22:43 on a road bike, with Nathan Mullan coming home as the first Dromara rider with a very fast time of 23:31.  The fight for second Dromara rider home was won by Graham McConnell just beating Jack Ferguson by 6 seconds, (don’t worry you’ll get him next time, Jerry).  Ultimate respect still must be shown to Paul Gick for putting his all into these time trials every week, very admirable considering he put a 34 minute time in on such a lumpy road!  Another mention must go to Derek Miniss for just buying a road bike last night and showing up for a TT the next evening, probably more enthusiastic than what Ryan Calvert is for motocross!  In other news, did anybody see what Steven Wallace had on his head?  Thanks again to all of the marshals and timekeepers who showed up on a night like that and Martin for organising and bringing cake.  Next up is the Harry Ferguson Road Race, make sure to get down because the more the merrier!

Thanks to the timekeepers – Matthew A, Ivan B and Ronnie as bike holder. Also to Matthew G as umbrella holder and cake eater.
Thanks to the marshals – Barry K, David D, Darren McC, Stephen W, Eddie D, Gary G. Pictures: Gavin M (photos on the facebook page)
