[GAVIN]

;D ;D The Posse were in Dromore last night @ 6 ... Where were ya boys .... Do ya not go out if it's raining.....

Good run last night with very little wind,about a dozen or so out. Captain Elvis Baines kept control with the whistle and taps at the front of about 2 mins.....although we were all yellow carded after leavin him at the p stop! Good to see Mark out after the knee op.
The Michael Pyper fan club was out in force in a few places ........definetely more than last week( must have been the pics on cycling Ulster ;D)
Quote of the night was when a few chavs were slabberin at us was "away an do your homework!"
The pace upped a bit on the way to Scarva and then up the drag the gaps began to show....Hair Bear treated us all to a beautifull rendition of the Englebert Humperdinck classic 'Please Release Me '.... with me Merv and Ryan bringin up the rear....Ryan kickin me all the way
Good steady run at 18.5 avg and 1 puncture

The Magnificent Seven out on a wet and windy night Waited on the Posse sayin it was their type of weather but another no show (wise men!) Cut the usual run short but the head wind made it up Warm enough all the same about 18 av with nice clean bikes now ;D

whats the craic with the tuesday training night

where do u meet
distance / speed ?
road bikes ?

any info would be appreciated, might tag along as not getting out on the weekend runs and not getting a good hard workout trainin on my own all the time

John - The Tuesday training night meets in Dromore Square @ 6.30pm sharp, the distance is approx 38 miles and it's on your road bike. There are usually around dozen cyclists out.

The average speed is 19 mph - so you need to keep up or you will be dropped.

We also meet on Thursday nights - same detail as above.

The Annahilt crew also go out on Tuesday night (I think?) - Gavin is the best to advise on what happens on this run.

hi michael

thanks a lot for the info...the pace might get me before the end but i'll have to gave it a try, have to build up to get out with the no control group if i can get out some saturday, and if i get dropped then sure it will not be the first time, and better on a shorter run like this than on a long run on a saturday

off to the shop to get some lights

thanks
john

thanks to the guys out tonight for easing a little at the right times so that i could get home safely with the group....thought i could hang on no problem to a group, but them there little rises eventually started to take their toll, the road out of scarva finally undid me, must be a power to weight ratio issue ;D so a serious diet is starting tomorrow

Well done that cameraman!!

Seen that Damien boy tonight on his way through Finaghy around 5:45.

Hope the DRT keep on producing these brilliant results as the season goes on. They must be some training runs !!!



DRT = Dromara Racing Team ! ;D

[R.S.]

Do you guys go out on Tuesday and Thursday evenings over the summer months or with racing on is it different.
Im not at a 19av pace yet so no point going with you faster lads to be dropped so if anyone wants a more steady paced run on those evenings im up for that.
