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 !
Riders are reminded of IVCA preference for rear lights in all TT’s.
Please talk to Phil about IVCA 2016 Kit orders. See details on theivca.com

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!!
Phil.
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.
