RE: Club Road Race
May 1 2008, 9:13 AM EDT Check out this route. We would do 5 laps. Still includes the forth hill. We would need to start about Colm Dillons to get a wide part of road and you would be turning in left just after Murray Motors. Good surfaces and easier marshalled while staying away from the dangerous Lifford road. Would also be more suitable for "all" levels of cyclists http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/ireland/donegal/497171470 Do you find this valuable? |

May 1 2008, 3:59 PM EDT Might be one problem. Sod says a dairy farmer is on that road and cattle are crossing da road. He is to check it out. The chasing cyclist might have more than egg on their faces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Club Road Race
May 6 2008, 4:40 PM EDT 1 for the roundabout, 1 for burt chapel, one for hairpin before the T junction at burt chapel that's the least we can run with, and 1 lead car for every group, If we don't have these numbers of marshal's and cars, the Race will be CANCELED, Then a rota of club members will have to be drawen up for the rest of the year. SO please bring someone along to marshal. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Club Road Race
May 8 2008, 12:35 PM EDT Well the normal circuit is out unless the road gets repairs, and road works are on the main road now for 8 weeks which has started near Balyholey. What distance is Ballyholey circuit Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Club Road Race
May 8 2008, 2:03 PM EDT a few different circuits would be good because one might suit someone better than another Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Club Road Race
May 8 2008, 5:03 PM EDT I agree that it would be a good idea to alternate the routes, the slab road and the Galdonagh circuit (when available) would be a good combination. The Ballyholey route is in a worse state of repair than the Galdonagh road so I doubt if it's a runner at this stage. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Club Road Race
May 14 2008, 8:29 AM EDT WELL Tinney4m wots happenin that course is good but it encourages people to sit on wheels as opposed to the other course in which most people have to work to stay up there dont get me wrong i really do think everybody should get a chance and be catered for but i think the main objective of these events are 2 make a body fitter and ya dont really gat that by wheel suckin.Sure some people arent that fit but hard work is the only way 2 get fit.Hope this is helpful and im not pointing any fingers or any thing like that its just an observation oh another wee thing might be helpful is a bell for the final lap as there alittle confusion last night but this is new so i suppose were all learning ok now yung fellers Do you find this valuable? |
