Many thanks to the 26 riders who took to the start line for todays James Butler Memorial. Its the last event of a great cycling season in Wexford (bar hamper races!) and we know a lot of riders are well into wind down mode. We had gorgeous sunny conditions but a slight headwind took the edge off times with everyone over a minute down on last years times. In the end Davy Walsh took his 6th win on the trot with the narrowest of wins over Anthony Doyle. There was literally a pedal stroke between them!  Frank Dunne completed the top three place clean sweep for Velo Revolution. (I made one mistake at the prize presentation by not taking into account Slaney’s top finisher Mick Foley’s youthful good looks but I will rectify it this week! Sorry Mick)

All clubs & categories, adult and youth welcome. Youth riders – no aero equipment , TT bars, discs etc., just standard road bikes.  No following cars please as its just too dangerous when riders are being overtaken however if we have any U12s they can be accompanied on a bike by a parent or chaparone for safety.

Distance is just 5 miles (and half downhill!) so we are encouraging all the touring crew out there to give it a blast as well.
