The gauntlet was thrown down hard in Tydavnet yesterday evening with Ballymena Road Club‘s Stephen Colbert setting a blistering fastest time of 21:09 on the hilly 10mile (16km) course. If you think that 21:09 doesn’t seem very fast then you should check out the course profile on Strava (link below).

It was a beautiful warm and dry evening for Round 1 of 6 in the Emyvale CC ITT League. There was a great mix of youths, juniors and from leisure cyclists up to A1’s.
