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 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.

A minimum of a club competition licence will be required to take part in any events organised in the county by the four current cycling clubs.

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!

Adrian Mc Dermott 5th in Ulster Carrigans man takes 5th place in Ulster TT championships
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.
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.
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.

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.
