This may read a little like an Oscar winners speech, but the Committee would like to acknowledge as many people as possible who contributed to the success of the day.   First and foremost, a sincere thank you to all the participants. In total over 350 entrants took to their bikes and covered over 35,000km of some of the finest routes we could find in Co Down. Too many clubs to list came out in force to Read more

Round 4 of the Ulster XC was hosted by Banbridge CC in Castlewellan Forest Park. About (what’s felt like) 6 months of heavy rain made the course slippy, sticky and technical in places. This round doubled up as an NPS event so there were plenty of top riders from the other provinces present.   Young Reuben Maitland was first off in the U10’s and continues to move up the rankings each week, this time finishing Read more

As Andrew Evans watched Andre Griepel sprint to victory in the final stage in Paris this afternoon he was casting his mind back a week to his experience of riding what was to become Friday’s stage of the Tour.   ETAPE DU TOUR 2015. I’m sitting at home one Sunday evening flicking through social media, I see a post that someone has just completed the Etape du Tour. After reading about it and seeing the Read more

17 Entries for the final KCC held event in the East Down league. It had been a wet day in the Downpatrick/Killyleagh area however with little wind and the roads drying just enough conditions weren’t bad for a decent time. Thanks to Ross for organising all the TTs this year, and all volunteers – it takes 10 people to run this event. Well done to all participants, including good contingents of welcome visitors from Dromara, Read more

Over 300 riders turned out for the annual Shimna Challenge.  With a 30 mile recreational route and a 50 mile mountain route on offer there was something for everyone.  Well done to Shimna Wheelers on running a great event, we were all looked after very well and will be back next year!    

Four eejits from Killinchy signed up for the hill climb event hosted by new club Titanic Quarter CC.  This was a new event that included 3 separate climbs up to Craigantlet.  The climbs were Ballyregan rd, Ballymiscaw rd and the dreaded Church rd!  Each climb had chip timing and you could do them in any order you want.  Well done to Jill, Andrew, Phillip and Ross for completing it, they will defiantly be back next Read more

Building on the success of our Interclub TT league, we decided to run a 5 mile individual TT for members to see what its all about and give it a go.  The sun shone again on our wee village as 8 TT newbies rolled up at the Ballybunden rd starting line.  The 5 mile course went to Drumreagh and back to Balloo.  Two club TT regulars also gave it a go but unfortunately there must have Read more

    On the 23 June it was Killinchy CC’s turn to host a round of the East Down Interclub League.  The sun was shining and we had a good turnout of 21 riders from Killinchy, Shimna, La Lanterne Rouge and a couple of guests from Dromara CC.  Everyone enjoyed the triangle circuit (I think!!) starting at Ballybunden rd Balloo, heading to Ballygowen, then Carrickmannon before returning back to Balloo on the Saintfield rd. Thanks to all Read more
