The Cycling Season Beckons
Well, we are all back in the swing of things now, with Christmas but a distant memory. Back at work and back into the daily grind. With temperatures soaring to 8 or 9 degrees, summer is plainly just around the corner!

Singing (and cycling) in the Rain
Although the weather last week was awful, it was incredible that around 40 cyclists turned up for the traditional Mince Pie Cycle. Even more amazing was the fact that around a quarter of those who did turn up were novice cyclists, many of whom were sporting new cycles which they had just received from Santa!

Cyclists Reflect
As the old year dies and the new one is born, it is traditionally a time to reflect. North Down Cycling Club can certainly reflect upon a vibrant 2006 and look forward to an exceptional 2007.

All Ireland Championships
Two North Down riders who will be playing a low profile this Christmas must be Raymond Brownfield and Stuart Henry. After recording medal winning performances in the Ulster Cyclo Cross Championships two weeks ago these two athletes will be stepping up their training in preparation for the All Ireland Championships on the first weekend in January.
