UCD’s O’Conluain Takes EmyVale GP – Updated
There was racing for all categories today at Tydavnet when Emyvale CC promoted their annual Emyvale GP. First into the fray were the Youth riders who faced a different circuit from normal as ongoing roadworks had closed a number of roads in the area.
Due to some confusion because of the change of route the U14 and U16 race required a restart. Ciara Doogan of Errigal, who has recently been named on the European Youth Olympic team, took the win by over two minutes.
Harvey Barnes of East Tyrone had to be content with second on this occasion with Ethan Fleville of Clann Eireann taking an excellent third position.… Read more

Hylands Battles Weather to Win Ras Loughgiel
In what could only be described as horrendous conditions only half of those who had pre-entered signed on for the second stage in the A4 Rás Loughgiel promoted by Duffin Transport and sponsored by Clinivet.
With the crashes on Friday evening’s stage some riders would have been experiencing soreness and stiffness while others were nursing sick bikes. Others may have decided that a warm bed was much more preferable to signing on for misery so only forty riders powered through the time trial.
It was a good ride for Kings Moss rider, Derek Ferguson, who topped the results with a 7.44 – only one second ahead of Bann Valley’s Gerard McNally and some eight seconds faster than third place man Luke Hylands of Keevan CC, the relatively unknown newcomer who entered the stage wearing the leader’s yellow Jersey.… Read more

Hylands Takes Stage 1 Clinivet Ras Loughgiel
Stage 1 of the Clinivet sponsored Ras Loughgiel 2 day.
The Clinivet Ras Loughgiel got underway on Friday evening in what was perfect weather conditions for the opening stage.
A bright sunshine evening with little winds made a welcome change for riders who have been subject from less than ideal conditions all year as we approach the end of May.
Riders from TVR, Carn Wheelers and Phoenix dominated the starting lining up with each having over 6 riders in their starting line up. Could this have been a sign of what’s to come – we will find out on Saturday.… Read more

Magowan Conquers the Mournes
As always Newry Wheelers promoted a professional event today when they organised their annual Tour of the Mournes road race.
In order to emulate the professional racing conditions which riders in the Giro d’Italia are experiencing today Newry duly ensured that the rain was turned on for the duration of the race making ‘ideal’ racing conditions.
A full field of riders turned up for this highly popular race which is fully supported by PSNI motorbike outriders. The riders headed out towards Warrenpoint into a fierce headwind which seriously hampered any attempts by riders to get away early.… Read more

Ulster Riders Continue to Impress at Home and Abroad
McNally Second in Women’s National League Race
Janine McNally (North Down) today achieved the best result of her short racing career. Her second place to top Irish professional Caroline Ryan (World Track Bronze medallist) at the Woman’s National League race at Dunsany Co Meath marks all real step up in class for NDCC’s top female rider.
Janine featured in every break and even had the confidence to attack herself.
With every race she is gaining experience and crucially today she identified the strongest riders and made the important break with Ryan as they topped the hill on the last lap.… Read more

East Antrim do the Double in Tommy Givan – Gallery Added
They say there is no such thing a group sadist but anyone in the cycle racing world can prove this to be incorrect. When the early summer conditions are just perfect – temperature barely reaching 7 degrees, spells of false sunshine coupled with intermittent bursts of torrential rain, face-biting hailstone storms and cold, blustery winds – then these group sadists strike.
Today it was the turn of Maryland Wheelers to see what punshment they could inflict as they promoted the 2013 edition of the Tommy Givan Memorial Road Race.… Read more
