With Spring having arrived at last, road racing has started again. Last Sunday 12th March saw the running of the popular John Haldine Memorial Races hosted by Newry Wheelers. Barry Cassidy, Micheal Flood, Gabrielle Fox, Declan McEntee, Dara McKenna and James McKenny all contested in various categories and came home safely. Here is Dara’s race report: “Good racing today by everyone. Barry finished comfortably in the A4s , Gabrielle unfortunate her chain came off but was sitting in well until near the finish. Declan , Michael, James and myself were all active in the A3 race , few attempts at breaks but didn't stick , there was a cross headwind on the way out to Warrenpoint. Not very strong but enough to keep everyone from rolling the dice. Finish was a bit sketchy as usual but everyone went home safe.” The previous weekend, Declan McEntee, Dave Reilly and Gabrielle Fox attended the Annaclone GP, Summerhill Races in Meath and Phoenix GP in Belfast respectively. The racing was typically messy early season stuff, but everyone got home safe including Gabrielle who also bagged 5th place and some prize money. Our Saturday and Sunday club spins have been taking place each week, departing from Emyvale Parish field at 9am like clockwork. Attendance has been good, especially on Sundays with up to 4 separate groups rolling out. There is now a supplementary early morning loop departing Sam’s at 7:30am on Sundays for those looking to get the extra miles in. Please note the following dates for your diary for 2023: NEW ADDITION – The Ras Tailteann, Ireland's premier cycling road race event has been brought to Monaghan town by SDG Construction Technology in conjunction with Monaghan County Council and will be passing through as follows: Saturday 20th May – Stage 4 finishes in Monaghan town Sunday 21st May – Final stage 5 starts in Monaghan town Emyvale CC events: Sunday 18th June – Emyvale CC Tour of Monaghan Sunday 23rd July - Emyvale Grand Pri Sunday 20th August - Bike the Blackwater
