Club Updates: 15/07/19 The brilliant cycling, running, adventuring weather continued for the whole of last week, it would almost make you not want to go on our big Italy cycling trip next week. It really is a pleasure to get out racing and training in these conditions, especially when you consider the poor weather we had all through spring. A cycle around the lake will now bring you into contact with big numbers of cyclists taking to the roads, like…
Nenagh Summer League 2019: Round 15 Once again Nenagh CC lost all our money from another evening of great racing on the N7. The Summer League is not proving to be very lucrative at all for our club but who cares about money when you are getting top quality racing each and every week! We have just 1 more round to go, but there remains a chance we will bring back the series in August (we have a club tour…
Club Updates: 08/07/19 After a great Summer League race on Thursday, the rest of the week proved to be pretty quiet. There were no club members racing their bikes and only, the always reliable, Eoin Woolley took part in a race. The rest of us put in some big mileage in preparation for The Italian Job coming up in just two weeks time. We had another excellent week on the weather front and that makes cycling, running etc all the…
Nenagh Summer League 2019: Round 14 Wow that was some race. I don’t think there was anyone out there yesterday evening that didn’t enjoy that one. Yes it was painful but it was a great evening for cycling, with a very strong + quality turnout, aggressive racing, a result that went down to the wire and a well deserving winner on the hill top finish. Well done to Jordan Luke for cycling through all 3 groups and grabbing a big…
Nenagh Summer League 2019: Round 13 The latest round of our Summer League saw competitors taking on the tough Ballyhane circuit twice. This round proved to be an extremely tough one as there was a very strong headwind on the way out to Nenagh. The two bunches on the road didn’t quite know the best way to deal with it, so progress was slow. Should we all go single file or keep doing up and overs? Up and overs are…
Club Updates: 30/06/19 This week proved to be a very quiet week for the club. There was very little going on in terms of racing and all our training sessions were taken at a very handy pace. Enjoying the weather and buying ice-creams took priority to punishing ourselves on the bike. We can call this the mid-season lull, where we all rest up a little before getting back into the hard stuff and finishing off the season in style! There…
Club Updates: 23/06/19 There was a lot of things going on this weekend with club members at the Tour de Burren, Killary Gaelforce West, Ironman Youghal, Wild Atlantic Way Leisure Tour and The Blues 10k here in Nenagh. There were very contrasting weather conditions on the two weekend days with lovely sunshine on Saturday and consistent rain falling all day Sunday. As always, when we as a club take on a challenge we like to make big improvements and perhaps…
Nenagh Summer League 2019: Round 12 The first of our final ‘Big 5’ summer league races of the year took place yesterday evening on what was a warm and sunny day for racing. With a new course and potential prize money on the line, we were glad to see enough numbers at the race for 3 groups on the road. The race itself proved to be one of the most competitive we’ve had with the winner coming from the first…
Club Updates: 16/06/19 Not much going on this weekend on the racing front. There were two races on Friday and Sunday and we had cyclists on the start line at both; no points scored. Closer to home, there was the Ballinree 5km where members of our run group came 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Next week will be a big one for the club with plenty of big events on including our first big leisure event – The Wild Atlantic Way…
Nenagh Summer League 2019: Round 11 Another round of quality racing has come and gone and we welcomed a new winner of the race with junior Stefan Caulfield Dreier (Killarney) getting into the winning 3 man breakaway and taking a fine victory with a great final sprint. The beauty of the Ballyhane course is that it rarely comes down to a bunch sprint. The course rewards aggressive riding; there are just too many sections where it is possible to get…
