Emyvale 10 TT 15/06/10
As part of their events scheduled for National Bike Week, Emyvale Cycling Club are promoting a 10 miles time trial on Tuesday 15th June. The sign-on is from 7pm in the National School car park in Tydavnet on the R186 Monaghan- Clogher road with first rider off at 7.30pm. Further parking is available in the village Church grounds and all participants are being asked not to park on the roadside.

The course record is 20.39 which was recorded by Paul Brady 3 days before he stormed to All Ireland glory in the Men’s Under 23 Time Trial in 2007. It could prove to be a good indicator therefore for any tester looking to gauge their form ahead of the National Time Trial Championship in Sligo next week. The event is being supported by Monaghan Sports Partnership who will be providing post race refreshments. Prizes will be awarded to the top three in each category as well as spot prizes. The Emyvale club look forward to welcoming visitors from near and far on Tuesday evening.
