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)
