Turkey Time Trial

The Eire Og Cycling Club will be holding a Christmas Turkey race on Monday December 26th at Rosses point , Co. Sligo.

Sign on from 12 with race start at 1pm.

The format will be a 14km time trial, riders must guess there time before the start with prizes being given to the riders who are closest to their estimate. It goes without saying that no watches or speedometers may be used during the event. Everybody is in with a chance for a prize no matter how slow or fast you may be.

Lots of prizes up for grabs including the Turkey and also the Johnny Davey Cup will make a welcome return to the racing scene in Sligo. The Davey Cup will be presented to the fastest rider on the day. Last man to hold this trophy is none other than local time trial legend Michael Devins. After a weeks winter training in Lazerote he will be hard beaten. Maybe a few of our lads might be tempted to check out their new and improved positions and see if any free speed has been gained.
