This Thursday is the 16 / 25 mile time trial on the Banbridge Road from the horseshoe bend outside Castlewellan to Banbridge.

Medals: Gold for those getting under one hour, silver for those finishing in 1 hour 5 minutes and bronze for those finishing in 1 hour 10 minutes. However, you can't get a medal of the same colour you got before!!

We'll need 2 timekeepers, 1 bike holder and 7 marshals. Apply within.

I'll do bike holder. Then head up to the forest for a few laps of the old xc course!!

Thank to Gavin for photos (to follow).

Super evening. Blue skies and warmth, not much breeze however low turn out.



The potential medals are only shown to see who hit the relevant grade. As mentioned above, riders don't get the same medal twice.

We'll also provide medals for the 16 mile distance this year.
