Club Updates: 09/06/19 It was a successful weekend for the club with a legendary club member finally securing the single point he has needed for promotion today at the Collins Cycle Centre race. There was also big news from the adventure racing side of the club with the news of a big 1 – 2 by the Scully brothers in the main national series event at the Dingle Adventure Race – there is a race report to read. Other than…
Nenagh Summer League 2019: Round 10 Sandwiched in between two local open races on Wednesday and Friday, this evening’s league race was always going to see a drop in numbers. It was good to see so many in our own club out supporting the league and making up the bulk of the scratch group. The aim this evening was to break the hour mark for the the first time this year. Did we succeed? Not even close. In the end…
Club Updates: 04/06/19 It may be summer time but it feels more like winter outside at the moment. Hopefully today is your scheduled rest day after a big bank holiday weekend of training. On the racing front we had a decent turn out at the Raparee Race in Dundrum on Saturday with 7 on the start line. Our runners were also in action in Roscrea and Tullaroan. On the training front we had small enough numbers out as it just…
Nenagh Summer League 2019: Round 9 We are now starting into the second half of our Summer League season and the racing is as fast as ever. We had a quality scratch bunch setting a big pace on the course, but we also had a quality middle bunch who made it very hard to catch them. Breaking the hour mark for the course is always the target; it hasn’t been broken many times and we didn’t quite break it this…
Club Updates: 27/05/19 Not much news this week from the club as the mid season lull continues. For the first time this year we had nobody in racing action on the bike but at least there were a few off running in various races. There is one race coming up this weekend that we would like club members to support – Raparee CC Road Race 2019. Training distances back at home increased a little as our club members look to…
Club Updates: 19/05/19 It was a quiet enough weekend on the racing front with just a handful of cyclists and runners in racing action. We had 4 riders racing on the bike but no points scored. 2 club members were also in running action at an 8km road race in Poulmucka. Today would normally be the highlight of the cycling racing calendar with the typical start to the Rás. In it’s absence there aren’t a huge amount of races on…
Nenagh Summer League 2019: Round 7 Numbers were decent and the quality of racing was excellent at the latest round of the Nenagh Summer League. 6 years ago when we started the summer league there was only the, always excellent, Limerick Summer League in existence locally. Now, there are so many competing league races in the area it is certainly getting tougher to keep the show on the road. In saying that, if people keep turning up like they did…
Club Updates: 12/05/19 This weekend was a kind one for the club with a news of a great result coming from the Crotty Cup in west Clare where Art Mozdzer and soloed his way to victory in the A4 race. It’s not easy to win races and not many from Nenagh have ever managed to do that so savour the victory Art. It was well deserved and with that victory Art gets upgraded to A3. We also had club members…
Nenagh Summer League 2019: Round 6 The 6th round of our Summer League took place in glorious sunshine last Thursday. With so many competing league races on the calendar these days it was no surprise that numbers were down a little. Nevertheless, we still had 3 groups on the road and the scratch bunch was truly top quality. This led to an excellent race, with the Doherty brothers making it a 1 – 2 finish in the end. There was…
Weekend Cycling The sun will be making a welcome return for the weekend so it looks like it will be shorts and jersey time on the bike. There are two races on this weekend for anybody brave enough to go – the Crotty cup in Clare tomorrow and the always tough Shay Elliot on Sunday. If you want something a little bit easier, come out with the club. The routes are below, but they aren’t exactly easy this week either.…
