Well done to all who took part in the Cycle today. 100 people braved the elements on this bright cold day. Some took the short route through Clondaw and back to Boolavogue to the Harrow while the rest took the long road through Oulart. A big thank you to drivers, stewards, photographers

and anyone else who helped. We look forward to seeing you all at the big race in 2 weeks time for the final event.

A big congratulations to all who took part in the Cross Country run. On a beautiful sunny Sunday 134 people took part in the 4.5km run over ditches, through bogs and across the river, through the forest and up the hill and then the long stretch through 4 fields back home. The first 4 home were Paul Gibbons, Dean Fenlon, Conaill Cooper and Larry Murphy. A huge big thank you to all who helped out on the day, stewards, photographers etc. We are now in training for the next event – The big Cycle.
