Table Quiz
Put on your thinking caps and sharpen your pencils for Friday night's table quiz in the High House, Main street Emyvale. Emyvale Cycling Club are hosting it's annual table quiz with quiz master TV personality and journalist Michael Fisher operating proceedings. It should be a great night's craic and remember if you don't have a team organised we can put you in a team so you don't miss out. We urge all club members to do their best to have a team on the night. The table quiz is one of the few opportunities the club have to raise funds in the year and all support would be greatly appreciated.
Reliability Run
This Sunday the club will be holding its reliability run that has proven to be a popular event over the last few years. All senior categories are catered for and sign on is from 9.30 am and cyclists leave at 10.00 am. The cyclists will cover a distance of 60 kms. The route normally taken is Emyvale, Monaghan, Middletown, Armagh, Caledon, Aughnacloy and finishing in Emyvale. The route will be ridden as a tour for the major part and whoever wishes to race can do so for the final 15-20 kms.
Giant's Causeway Sportive
Some of our touring members did this grueling tour last year and entries are now open for the 2012 edition of the sportive. There are a number of routes you can choose from ranging in difficulty and distance. Information on these can be found on the Cycling Ulster website.
Racing News
It is that time of year again as the cycling calender springs into action this weekend. We have a small number of senior men who have taken out racing licences this year and we wish them the best of luck for the coming season. All racing in the six counties is pre-entry so please register if you wish to take part in these events. Information on registering for races can be found on www.cyclingulster.com.
Underage Cycling
I would like to remind the young people of Emyvale and surrounding areas that boys
and girls of all ages are welcome to join the club any time. Bikes are available
for those who want to try out the sport for the first time or even for those who
want to rejoin the sport. Please contact George Mc Carron in his Cycle shop in Emyvale
for information. The numbers of young people participating in the sport could be
much better and we would love to see more youngsters out. We meet each Sunday morning
at 9.30 on Emyvale Main Street. There will be a youth league for beginners commencing
in the next few weeks. More details on this to come.
