It has been a soggy couple of weeks on the bike with plenty of rain, but Emyvale cyclists are a hardy bunch and our regular weekly
spins have progressed regardless.
The Cyclocross World Cup revisited the Sport Ireland campus in Dublin this Sunday and on the Saturday the amateur support races
took place, with our own Declan “Dynamo” McEntee contesting the M50 category. Here is the race report from Dara McKenna:
“Declan put in a great ride narrowly missing out on the podium. There was a big field of riders with the M40s starting a minute
ahead of the M50s, but Declan and the leaders in their race were picking up back markers by halfway round the 1st lap. The
course which is the same for the elites and Pros on Sunday was more sticky than wet with plenty of short rough climbs. So 4th
place for Declan, another fantastic ride.” It was a busy weekend for Declan, because on Friday the evening before, Declan also
deservedly accepted the award for Racing Member of the year at our annual AGM and awards hosted in Monaghan’s Four Seasons
Hotel. The AGM was an enjoyable affair, run with a humorous twist and was well supported by the members.
