The race was run with two groups and a 3 minute handicap which was insufficient as the scratch group caught the first group after only one and a half laps (I will pass this valuable experience on to the race sub looking after the next race on the 20th!!!).   Conditions were dry but visibility was limited by the  grey and misty evening weather however the competitors rode a sensible race in the conditions.

McKenna Shines in the Sun.

Last weekend whilst most of the racing men from NDCC took part in the local Ards CC promoted ‘Portaferry 3-Day’ race sponsored by Curran Transport, Neil McKenna headed south of the border to race in the ‘Tommy Brady Memorial’ in Navan and came home with the prestigious trophy.
