Sprint 60 Sportive & Bingham takes 3rd in Boyne GP

Boyne GP

The cycle season has been laying on events thick and fast for Cuchulainn’s competitive and Leisure cyclists alike. The latest road racing action was held in Meath’s Slane Village last Saturday and the club had riders in all 3 events. The result of the day for the club came in the A3 event, where evergreen Alan Bingham lined up alongside a number of other club men. The race was held over 6 laps of a 12km circuit and from the gun a group slipped off the front containing Bingham. The other Dundalk riders in the bunch rode intelligently to ensure the break maintained it’s advantage on the though lumpy course, where the rider’s also had to contend with strong winds. In the sprint for the win Bingham was edged into 3rd by David Mulloland of Dublin Wheelers, the victor, and Cathal Clarke of Newry Wheelers.

Spring Sixty

Recently the leisure cyclist descended on mass into Camlough for the Sprint Sixty event. The tough 60km course wound it’s way around South Armagh and North Louth, with a stop at Fitzpatricks for soup and sandwich’s. The club had 50 members attend and all enjoyed the scenic course, despite the hills. Back at the club house afterwards there was another great spread of food before the riders headed off home, exhausted but happy!
