Gerald Long Race Route
John Begggs and Sean McGreevyThe John Beggs Memorial and Sean McGreevy Memorial race is scheduled to take place on Saturday 17th April. There will be an 'A' Race for categories A1, A2 and A3 and a 'B' race for category A4 riders. The 'A' race is 70 miles long and will be handicapped. The 'B' race will be 50 miles. There will also be races for youth riders. Races start at 12 noon and sign-on will be available from 10:15 at the Scout Hall , Ballynahinch Road, Dromore.
This is a tough race and in the past has been won by many of the top cyclists in Ireland. Last year's winner was Martin Irvine. Getting you name on the John Beggs Memorial Trophy is something worthy of pride.
The John Beggs is also Round 2 of the Slane Cycles Ulster Classic League. Although the A Race (John Beggs) is handicapped it is a tough race and worthy of Classic Status. The handicap should not affect the overall results.
An entry form for both races can be downloaded by clicking the link below. Riders are reminded that those who pre-enter must let the promoters know in advance of the event if they are unable to attend so that places can be given to those on the Reserve List. We are restricted to 60 riders per event and it is unfair on both the promoting club and other interested riders not to show without providing an explanation.

Beggs and McGreevy Entry Form 2010
Four Masters Perform well at Island Wheelers Reliabilty Trail
Approximately eighty riders showed up this morning at Gortgonis Centre for the Island Wheelers Reliability Trial. Riders from Four Masters in Donegal, East Tyrone, Omagh, Dromara, Phoenix and Roe Valley made the journey to Coalisland to line up for the run. Many said that they were only there for the famous Wheelers spread of food which follows all their events.
The route took the riders through Moneyneena, Cookstown and Toome with the long drag up past Lough Fee where it turned misty for a while.
The event was well patrolled by James McLaughlin and Eddie Polin among others although the pace was high. The climb up by Lough Fee saw the bunch split up as the draggy road took its toll. According to Marian Lamb of Cycling Ulster the Four Masters men from Donegal will be ones to watch this season as they were fighting fit. Martin Tohill (Spires CC) was well up among the leaders and it may not be too long before he exchanges his brand new A4 licence for an A3.
Great to see a full racing team for Four Masters in such good shape for the 2010 season with 6 of them club members finishing in the top 10. Roll on the race season.
Many thanks to Island Wheelers for a good day out.Four Masters Race Ready
With one of the strongest racing groups in the Four Masters CC for years, this year is looking promising for the club. Headed by Jason Black the Four Masters CC racing team will be competing at various events throughout the country in the coming season.
At the meeting tonight ( Tuesday 2nd February) the Four Masters competitive cyclists confirm that they would take part in the following races as a team.
As from March on all Four Master club meeting will be held up-stairs in Bar Ella, next to Voodoo in Letterkenny. Thanks to Jason for the use of this venue. These club meetings will take place the first Monday of every month.

Ballymena RC/Scott Tiles Reliability Trial, January 24th.
4 Club Members ventured to Ballymena yesterday to test their early season form at the Ballymena RC/Scott Tiles Reliability Trial, in quite wet conditions the 4 club members (Jason McHugh, Jason Black, Eddie Sweeney & Shaun Stewart) undertook the daunting 75 mile trial in a group of approximately 50 riders. The pace was high throughout and the group split on a long climb approximately 15 miles from the finish, I am happy to report that all 4 of our riders made the break and finished with the leading group, this was a great achievement given the number of first Cat riders that they finished along with, and the 22.5 mph average! It looks like the hard Winter training has been paying off and it augers well for the racing season, well done to the boys, keep it up!

Many said that they were only there for the famous Wheelers spread of food which follows all their events.
For the first time in many years the day, though cold, was free from rain and snow and everyone was in good spirits. Unfortunately Sheena O'Neil suffered a mechanical at the start so offered to drive me around instead. Many thanks Sheena.
Great to see a full racing team for Four Masters in such good shape for the 2010 season with 6 of them club members finishing in the top 10. Roll on the race season.
Back at Gortgonis, the real workers had a magnificent spread of food on offer with the by now traditional pavlova. The riders certainly appreciated it and were quick to express their thanks.
Tommy Lamb managed to get around sixty miles in his new 'granny block' fitted as a priority job yesterday by Andy Slane of Slane Cycles who was afraid he would have a heart attack with anything less. The fact that the Centre was locked up by the time Lamb returned is neither here nor there. He blames Darren Boyd of Juiced Orchard, who insisted he in call into his house for a cup of coffee before they finished. The coffee must have been good for them to take so long to come back......
Many thanks to Island Wheelers for a good day out.

Greetings from sunny Florida! My wife and I would like to join y'all for a few training rides this August. Can anybody recommend a nice B&B smack dab in the middle of some great cycling roads? We'd like lots of hills and mountains because the highest elevation in Florida is about 300' and that's at the top of a Live Oak tree.
Thanks! Kerry Duggan |
