Winter Touring League

Well done to Murry McDonald who came out on top in our winter touring league. Murry was presented with his prize, a Minoura home trainer, by touring league sponsor Paul Nolan at Kenny for Bikes this morning. 2nd place was taken by Mylie Kavanagh while Mick Byrne took third and both were presented with gift vouchers by the club.

Full results are on the touring league page. We had a large number of riders out over the winter and hope to continue this trend now the good weather (?) is here. The club would like to thank sponsor Paul Nolan who also finished joint third in the table. A new summer touring league will commence after Easter until the end of August. Remember tours are from the Duffry Gate every Sunday leaving at 10.00am SHARP.
