SAT -10, Kilcock, 20/08/2016.

What a day to close the leagues season. Pouring rain and blowing a gale !!
Just six hardy souls, or idiots, answered Harry’s call to the start line. Ian ( Cassidy )did a storming 21:22 to win fastest and age standard. Needless to say no one got near there handicap, Pat being closest at 101.71%.
I’ll make a separate report of the final league tables when I’ve recovered, which according to my Garmin will be on Tuesday !!
Thanks to Harry for his final timekeeping stint of the season, and bon voyage for his trip down under. He’ll be heading for spring as opposed to what seems like nearly winter already here.
Many thanks also to the three volunteer marshals who got just as wet as the riders and probably a lot colder. One of them get’s his picture posted 🙂

IVCA clothing 2016.

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.

Monasterevin Results

[gview file=”https://theivca.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Monasterevin-Race-Results-3-April-2016.xlsx”]It was a day for the ducks, or maybe a day for crazy cyclists! Notwithstanding the weather, we had a great day of racing in Monasterevin, with victory in the four races going to Mark Kidd, Mark Burns, Declan Weldon and Eddie Scully. 119 rider participated across the 4 races.

A special mention must be made of all those who helped marshal the event in appalling conditions, and especially the motorcycle marshals who provided a great service in ensuring all the side roads were covered along the route. Chapeau gentlemen.

Full results are attached (click the little arrow in the top right-hand corner if the file doesn’t open fully initially).
