Darnell Moore (Caldwell Cycles) stormed to the fastest time at the Ulster 25 miles time trial championship today in Emyvale, Co. Monaghan. The Dromore man recorded a time of 53 minutes 4 seconds, edging out his team mate, Craig McCauley by 20 seconds to take the Elite Men’s title. The home club’s Patrick J McKenna took bronze in the Elite Men’s category. Other category winner’s were Lisa Lamont (Team Madigan) in the Elite Women’s, Jamie Gregg (Dromore CC) in the Junior Men’s, Paul McCarter (Donegal Bay CC) in the M40, John Raffery (North Down CC) in the M50, Dominic Drumm (Bann Whs) in the M60, Jane Wilkinson (Bann Wheelers) in the Women’s Masters and Jim Corbett in the Handcycling. Newry Wheelers lifted the team title.
Cycling Ulster would like to thank Emyvale CC for promoting the event. The time trial took place on a sporting course, a nice change from the dual carriageway courses for the riders. Despite a course adjustment due to unforeseen circumstances late this week, Emyvale put on an excellent event with over 30 marshals dotted along the route ensuring a safe event.
Emyvale CC would like to thank those for their various assistance with the promotion of the time trial, including our own club members, those from the neighbouring Killylough CC and those from further afield involved in the time keeping, Tommy Coyle, Sharon McFarland, James McLaughlin, Siobhan McGrath, Aisling McGrath and Paul Sanders. Also thanks to the PSNI and Gardaí who helped with traffic control and marshalling along the course.
