Dromara CC Club
League - Round 14
10 mile TT - Killyleagh Road, Downpatrick (map)
2 July 2009
The
Killyleagh Road in Downpatrick was the venue for Round 14 of Dromara
Cycling Club's Thursday night league. This was a new course for
the club and 35 cyclists showed up to try it out including 5 women and
3 visitors. The start was just opposite the bowling club and
special thanks should go to Pat McCormick for allowing us to use the
facilities at the club house. Derek Hanna volunteered at the last
minute to do the timekeeping and he was ably supported by Brendan
Monaghan and Tony Mallon to get the riders started at 7:15. First
away was Anne Maguire who was the slowest on the night but her
continued improvement at these events meant that, after time handicaps
were added, Anne was awarded maximum points for the evening.
Following Anne was Ross Galway who set the 7th fastest time (a
personal best) and was well up among the top riders despite the fact
that he does not use special time trial equipment.
It was
first cat rider David McKnight who set the fastest time of 22 minutes
and 43 seconds to cover the 10 mile distance. Following David was
Ronnie Smyth, recently successful at the Newry 3 day stage race, just
38 seconds slower. Behind Ronnie were the two visiting riders
from Phoenix Cycling Club, Fergus Rooney and Cathal Smyth. Marcus
Magowan had an excellent ride on this fast course setting a personal
best time of under 25 minutes and finishing 5th fastest. Behind Marcus
was vet rider John Ruddell from Ards CC also setting a time below 25
minutes. Further down the list and in the battle of the Magowan
brothers it was again younger brother Chris who finished 19 seconds
ahead of Gavin and set his own personal best time. We had only
one rider, James Gilpin, who was unable to complete the distance.
Well
done to the timekeeping and marshalling team for organising an
excellent event. Thankfully the threatening clouds did not open
and the riders were able to enjoy a dry circuit. Next Thursday we
return to the Old Belfast Road in Ballynahinch for a club road race.

minus 20 minutes. For those with an asterisk, the handicaps were
taken from 2008. For those with a #, their handicaps were worked
out by using the 10 mile equivalent time tonight and taking off 20
minutes.
