North Tipperary Wheelers

Club racing The second road race of the year and of the Spring Series took place last Thursday night (18 th April) with the 30km race route starting at the usual spot in Upper Clashnevin and heading towards Toomevara and Moneygall, rounding the Obama Plaza Roundabout and returning back in the direction of Nenagh before finishing just after the entrance to the Lisboney Graveyard. It was a super evening for racing as conditions were perfect, and again we had a good turnout of participants. Unfortunately our pool of Group 1 racers is limited and some were not able to make it.

Edvins fourth in Blarney, Promoted to A2 Sunday April 14 th saw yet another superb performance from club member Edvins, this time at the Donal Crowley Memorial Road Races hosted by Blarney CC. In very wet and cold conditions, Edvins claimed an excellent 4 th place and with it will now be promoted to A2 grade. We must take stock at this stage and remember that Edvins was still racing at A4 level when he won the A4 race at Ras Luimini on the 10 th of March! So in just five short weeks Edvins has powered his way through […]

A lot of news this week so let’s get to it! Edvins Silovs wins at Dungarvan: North Tipperary Wheelers are celebrating yet another win by club member Edvins Silovs, this time in the Dungarvan CC Open Race (A3/jnr.) held last Sunday. With his A4 win at Ras Luimni a few weeks ago Edvins gained promotion to A3. He followed this up with a very strong performance in the NTW Open Race where he was in a breakaway that led for much of the race before being caught a few kilometres from the finish. Edvin’s superb form and performances have continued, […]

Club Spins: It was a glorious weekend for cycling and we had a number of different groups out on the roads on Saturday and Sunday. First up on Saturday morning were Eoin, Nanno and Owen who did a nice 80km spin taking in Dolla/Templederry/Templemore/Dunkerrin and back to Nenagh. Most of us heading to Mallorca for the 312 are experiencing a little 312 anxiety I think, so I’m sure the boys welcomed the chance to get a good spin in. In the afternoon, two boys who don’t suffer any such anxiety – Eoin and Pat, were out burning up the road. […]

Huge Turnout for Wheelers Open Road Race.

The A1/A2 and A3 riders completed 3 laps while the A4 competitors were required to do two. All three finishes were […]
