Apologies for the delay. We had some major broadband outages this afternoon in North Monaghan.

The GP was well attended and the racing proved ferocious. Thankfully all riders returned home safe with only a few punctures providing the non-race drama.

The round up of last weekend's racing
Sunday 16th August was the Bobby Crilly Classic
Promoted by Phoenix CC near Belfast International Airport co.Antrim
This was the final in the Irish National Road Series.
This race had many riders taking part from North and South. This was an extremely fast and hard-hitting race from the start. The added heavy road traffic near the airport junction left it very challenging.
Club member Rebecca Edwards, new to the cycling scene, took part in this race her 1st ever race but most certainly won't be her last.
Rebecca got stuck in straight away and stayed in the bunch to the finish line. Rebecca seems to have very much got the bug for racing after this event, and we will be seeing a lot more of her in the racing scene ahead.
Thanks to Dany Blondeel for the pictures
