Well we got the desired change in weather. Fine sunny morning and very little breeze. Only problem was a lack of riders 🙂 Just eight, including one guest turned up. Ian showed us that the course is not a great problem for the super fast being just a minute off his best. Thanks to Harry and Ger for the timing and to Linus, Ian and Dave ( and misha ) for marshalling. Phil.
Start / Finish App. 1km south of Beehive Inn ( Jack Whites ) on N11.
Ample parking at roadside. Note, no HQ or facilities so absolute discretion required.
Proceed south through M11 underpass at Dunganstown, turn left then right at N11 flyover roundabouts, Cloghogue and retrace to finish.
Marshal requirements, two at each roundabout plus pusher off, total 7.
This coming Saturday, 18th June we return to Wicklow hoping for a more kindly breeze than last Septembers debut. Above link to updated TT courses.
Usual Saturday start time of 0930. Please note their is no HQ but ample carparking at start/fin app. 1km south of The Beehive on N11. Absolute discretion whilst changing !

Hi there fellow TTers.
I would hope to have enough feed back by the end of next week to get an order away to Pissei at least for skin suit requirements I am aware of half a dozen requirements but need to ask anyone who will want one ( or more )Â to let me know as soon as possible.
The attached pic shows off the actual cut and aeroability of the design, I personally am delighted with it.
Please help me out here and give me some feedback,
Phil.
Hi All. I’m working with Craig on a new issue of IVCA kit for 2016. As before there will be Standard and Racing Masters versions available. We need to get an idea of how many would be interested in purchasing to see if we can meet the minimum quantities required for ordering. It would be a great help if interested members would drop me a line, with no obligation at this stage, so that I know if I’m wasting my time or not. Link below to pics of the kit. Prices to follow shortly.
Cheers,
Phil.

Well, we had a fine bright morning. May have been a small field but we had the Big Guns firing alright. Just seven seconds between Neil and Ian. Hard luck to Pat Byrne and Eve McCrystal both of whom had mechanicals. I think this is the first time I’ve seen a result which had the same placings for Age Standard and Actual Time for all finishers. No handicap result, this being the first time we’ve ridden this course so we’ll use todays result as handicaps for the next one here. Everyone seemed to like the course, it’s no drag strip but a sporting challenge and I think worth keeping on the program. The shift of the start certainly made for a much improved start / finish from a safety perspective.
A 14 day break from TT ing now, the next one being at the Beehive course wicklow on the 18th. Hoping for a calm day this time!!

For those IVCA Racing Masters who have not received their own copy by post here’s the download of the brochure. Nothing better than committing to ride this event ( s ) to focus the mind on honing the form to max.

Hi all,
thanks to Ciara for sussing these out.
Woodgreen and Warrenpoint are certainly worth travelling to if you want the pleasure of riding an alternative to IVCA courses and just maybe posting a PB not attainable back home.
Phil.

Apologies to Noel Conway who’s finish time was not recorded due to a dead heat finish confusion. Also to everyone demoted by Noels 22:10 ride.
Edited result post to follow.
Phil.
All went off well with the use of Mother Hubbards as HQ a great improvement on the previous location. Several of us went in for refreshments post race. This facility really adds to the enjoyment although obviously many have to get back to family commitments. We had a slightly disappointing turnout of just 23 riders but a full compliment of marshals to whom thanks. Also to our timekeepers without whom we have no time trials.
We had a fine morning, 14c, but with a nuisance of North Easterly blowing to make the outward leg difficult and by no means a free ride home.
Congratulations are due to :-
Neil Delahaye on the win on Age Standard and also fastest actual with a great time of 20:55.
Second on Age and actual was Paul Dolan with 21:55, good enough for second handicap also.
Third on age standard and handicap, Ciara Kinch, with a fine ride of 24:05.
Aiden Yates was third fastest with 23:25.
First handicap went to Colm Conway who was the best of the five improvers on the day.
This Moy Valley course is not great and the road surface is deteriorating. I am hopeful that our next outing to Johnstown Bridge will confirm that to be our best ten mile course.
Saturday next, 4th June we are back to Rathcoffey for a shot at an odd distance TT of about 22 km which should be interesting. This is to avoid the rather tight start / fin we used for the ten there which we have deemed unsafe. The start is just past the Clane boundary at a very good and wide start fin area.
Phil.
Apologies to Noel Conway who’s finish time was inadvertently omitted from yesterdays result.
Noel finished 3rd fastest in a time of 22:15 so unfortunately Aiden and the rest of us get pushed down a place. Noels time, also a PB gained him 4th on handicap again pushing Deanne and the rest of us down a place.
Revised result publishing follows this message.
Phil.
A tough night at Black Bull for the Fred Smith 25 TT.
Although we had a bit of sun about a cool easterly made for difficult return trip. Always a very hard course, but this direction wind made it worse. Nevertheless it was a good night for some.
Congratulations to Hughie on a great Age Standard win in a new age 69 record time of 1:00:50, shaving 1:11 off Fred Harte’s 2008 record.
Only three beat handicap on the night the best of which by a large margin being a new PB for Deanne with 1:10:44 to claim the Fred Smith Trophy 2016.
Fastest on the night was newcomer Joe Sheehy with 0:58:04, one of five who managed to get under the hour.
Next event is the 10 Mile TT Championship at Moy Valley on Saturday 28th. We have moved our HQ for the Moy Valley TT’s to Mother Hubbards Truck Stop just up the road from where we’ve been in recent years. Members are request to keep to the left hand side of the car park and as ever to use absolute discretion whilst changing. Toilet facilities are available in the café.
