National Cycling Champs

The national cycling champs are being hosted in Sligo from the 24th of June - 27th of June.

The time trial champs for juniors, vets, ladies, tandem and men are being hosted on the Thursday evening on the dual carriageway from Colloney. Starting at 6.30pm until 9pm. Eire og cycling club are hosting the champs and I am tasked with organising marshals for the evening. We will need a team of 20 marshals for the Thursday evening as you know the dual carriageway can be quite busy. The marshals will be positioned mainly on the slipways and roundabouts. You will have a view of the riders so if you want to see the standard of elite testers on our roads and see some phenomenal times it would be worth a look. I am hoping that club members might forfeit the club spin on the Thursday evening and give a hand marshaling. Training will be provided. If you are available will you please text me your details so I can make accurate lists for the evening.

The ladies and veterans champs will be taking place on the Saturday on the Ballymote circuit. Eire og will be entering a team including Basil Freeman, Michaeal Devins, Alex Carey and Daire Mooney (if he can admit he is old). Hopefully they will be in with a good chance. Anyone who is available and might have an interest to give a hand we would appreciate the help on the Saturday. Ideally if people could pair up one could marshal the ladies event and one could marshal the vets event.

The eliete seniors and Juniors will be on the Sunday. Hopefully all will come out to support. Ideal time to see some pros on the roads including Nicholas Roche, Phlip Deignan, Dan Martin and the sean kelly cycling squad.
