Michael Barry 10th in Tour of Ulster
[gallery]
Club newcomer Michael Barry continued his impressive start to the season by taking 10th place overall in the international Tour of Ulster over the May Bank Holiday weekend. The race consisted of 4 stages held over 3 days in and around Dungannon. The race is traditionally the last big hit out before The Rás held later in the month. Cuchulainn had their 5 man Rás team on the start line and in each of the stages Barry posted a top 15 finish with his best individual result being 6th on the final 90mile stage, which featured no fewer than 4 king of the hill sprints. The last stage of the event, held in torrential rain and winds was so severe that of the 100plus starters only 55 riders were able to make it to the finish line. Myles McCrooy also had a good tour finishing in 31st position overall. The severe weather on the last day mean't that neither Colm Quinn or Ray O'Shaughnessy made it to the finish line. Overall the team is looking good for the upcoming Rás, which kicks off on May 19th.
Returning to IVCA action 5 club members lined up in Batterstown, Co. Meath on Sunday. The result of the day went to Martin Gray whom finished 5th in his race, having attacked the bunch with 10km to go and bridged the gap to the main bunch. In the other race Ray Fedigan went on the attack from the gun and came home eventually in 6th spot, in the winning break.
Eve McCrytsal travelled to Limerick recently to compete in the Gadra/Defence Forces Championships and came home with the gold medal in the time trial. Eve, a gada based in Ballybay, Co. Monaghan was in commanding form & had over a minute on second place, in a field which included a number of riders who have represented Ireland on the international stage.
Finally on Sunday last the club had over 40members travel to Carrickmacorss to complete in the Drumlins Challenge Sportive. The 100km route tackeled the rolling roads of Cavan & Monaghan. However this was not enough for some club members who cycled firstly to Carrick, completed the cycle, then cycled home!
