2013 Club League race 1

Club League race 1 - time trial

The 2013 Club League got off to a great start on Tue 23rd April, with near-perfect weather conditions, and a great turnout both from the Club, and guest riders from some of our neighbouring clubs.

Some very fast times were recorded on the night, with first place honours going to our own Jacob Baldwin.
Jacob put in a great effort to come home with a time of 24m23s (that's over 39km/h average speed over the testing 16km course!), and in taking first place, he also now holds the league leaders Yellow Jersey going into the next race.

We want to thank all of the marshals, and everyone who turned out to lend a hand with everything from traffic management at the start to the refreshments afterwards and to the photographers (photos will follow shortly, check this page for updates!)

Photos from the night, courtesy of the great Michelle Kavanagh are here (click play, then view in fullscreen mode, as all are HQ)....

Pre-Race info...

The first round of the Club League is a 16k time trial held on 23rd April.

Riders will set off at 1 minute intervals on a fast route from Kinnegad to Milltownpass on the old Dublin to Galway Road returning on the same route to finish at Kinnegad.

Start/Finish line is just after the last roundabout leaving Kinnegad for Milltownpass.

Tips for warming up correctly can be found here. Warming up correctly is very important, not only to get the best performance out of yourself, but also to avoid possible injury by trying to ride the race from a 'fresh', rested state (see here for some of the science behind it all).
