Great to see the Ards CC RT back ‘open’ time trialling again! At the first round of the Ernie Magwood Time Trial Series (27th May) we were well represented across the categories, John Rafferty added to his multiple top 20 overall/M50 placings of 2020 with 21:15. Barry Mitchell rode very strongly to record 21:36 and also finish in the top 20, Andrew Hedley had a good 22:20 and great to see Mark Watson back with 24:29. Steve Core finished well in the M60 category on 24:52, William Orr turned in a steady 24:59 and great to see Colin Wilson out again too, 25:00 his time. Well Done to all in getting the first one under the belt.
A few riders travelled to the Dunloy GP road race on Sunday 25th May, in the A2/3 event Phil Doyle and Stuart Millar rode well, both home safely. Ryan Andrews finished comfortably in the bunch in the race for A4’s & Ladies. Well Done Folks.
