Touring League Round 9: The West Wicklow- Sunday 8th September, 9.00am at Cycle Superstore
***All Enquiries to the Touring Committee***
The Touring Committee is pleased to announce the West Wicklow. It takes place on Sunday 8th September at 9.00am starting at Cycle Superstore.
Please see map of route below.
Dick O’Brien Touring League Update
Brendan Johnston and Tony Pearson are still joint leaders of The Dick O’Brien Touring League after 8 rounds – both having completed the 100 in 8 on 11th August. It definitely looks like the trophy will be heading to Towers CC for the second year running, the winner mostly likely being decided by The Joe Hoare.
Round 9, The West Wicklow, takes place on 8th September starting at The Cycle Superstore at 9.00am.
The Gay Farnan Memorial Tour, which was due on 8th Sept has been postponed until 6th October as it clashed with Ras na mBan, IVCA racing, etc. The distance is 70/40km starting at Dunsany GAA at 10.00am. Gay Farnan contributed hugely to the IVCA for many years both as a board member and Chairman of the W200. The Farnan family are very involved in this event and Gays Memorial Trophy will be decided by lottery among IVCA members. A good turnout from the membership is expected.
IVCA Sat TT_10 .
The final event of the Saturday TT League took place yesterday, 17/08/19, in mixed weather with a stiff wind blowing.
Joe, Ken and Ciara took the prime places on Age standard with Ciara knocking 37 seconds off the current Ladies Age Standard record in spite of not being happy with her form 🙂
Joe, Ken and Ian O’Hara took the actual time positions whilst Barry, Ken and Ciara filled the handicap slots.
Congratulations all and thanks as ever to the timekeepers and marshals who make it all possible.
Numbers were done somewhat but holiday time and weather probably not helping there. Next Saturday, 24th we are back at Mother Hubbards for ” BAR options Day ” where last opportunities to improve on 25 and 50 times are available. I just wish I could avail of the opportunity but it’s not to be. Fingers crossed for 2020 🙂
Tuesday 27th wraps up the TT Leagues leaving just the end of season markers of the 2-up and hill climb to round off 2019 competition.

IVCA 50 mile TT Championship. 03/08/2019.
Just eleven entrants on Saturday. A mixed weather day but not disasterously so.
Thanks to Harry and Dave for the timekeeping and to the full compliment of marshals. It was good to see that the road works at the Kinnegad bypass end of the course were to no detriment, in fact we though it was improved by the Garage and Tesco sites.
Hugh shaved an impressive 4 min 1 sec off the age 72 record held by Sean Lally, with his Gold Medal winning time of 2:09:11 for a plus 26:49 age standard. He also collected 3rd on handicap on the way.
Ian Cassidy’s 1:53:53 took the Silver Medal although, by his standards, somewhat off the pace.
Ian O’Hara’s personal best 1:58:07 took Bronze medal and a well deserved first place on handicap.
Brendan Byrne shaved a couple of minutes off his handicap to take the third place on handicap.
Congratulations also to Paddy Davis with a new Age
( 72 ) Standard Record of 2:33:05 taking 1:48 off Patsy Fitzsimons effort in 2010.
Another chance to do it all again, or to ride if you missed Saturday, arises in two weeks time, 24/08, on BAR Options Day.
The final event of the TTL is on Tuesday 27/8, the circuit TT on the Culmullin cct.
Cheers,
Phil.

We’ll Meath Again Tour Report
DICK O’BRIEN LEAGUE ROUND 7
We’ll Meath Again Tour is traditionally a wind down after the W200 and last Sundays tour was in keeping with tradition. Seamus Brennan organised and led the tour through 75km of beautiful country roads in the most amazing weather, probably the best cycling Sunday of the year so far.
Seamus, during his briefing, asked the group to turn their thoughts for a minute to fellow touring member Sean Pender, who tragically lost his son in Spain 3 weeks ago and to the late great Gay Farnan who so aptly named this tour many years ago. May they rest in peace.
Three members of the group had recently returned from a 600km cycle on the Costa Verde with The Irish Hospice Foundation which took them across the Picos de Europa including the torturous Cavodonga, which is regularly included in the Veulta, and they proudly sported their jerseys to prove it. Not to be outdone Seamus wore an even more colourful outfit which must be almost as old as he is but looks as good as the first day it was worn.
Seamus kept the group together at a very steady pace all day with just one puncture to report. Coffee stop was at approx. 50km in Jordan’s of Summerhill after which it was straight back the Summerhill Road at speed to the finish in Clonee.
After 7 rounds of the league Brendan Johnson and Tony Pearson are joint leaders with maximum points. Round 8 is the 100 in 8 and takes place on 11th August with a 9.00am start in Clonee.
