Charleville two Day Stage race 2018

West Cork had a good showing at the traditional end of season Charleville 2 day stage race.
The main A2/A3 race took place over two days and three stages. On Saturday there was an 80km road race where Neil  was 24 seconds behind the winner, but importantly at the same time as nearly every other rider. On Sunday morning the 6KM time trial was run and Neil was in the top twenty times.

Stage three was  a tough climbers circuit of 90KM and Neil went hard on the climbs and ended up in a three man break. They had a 38 second lead at the end and importantly the third place rider Tom Shanahan from Limerick was two seconds slower than Neil which meant that Neil was the winner on General Classification by only one second.

Munster Cyclo Cross Championships

Rode in the main race as a Junior and won the junior race, sadly with not enough Juniors riding with the seniors it does not count as a medal just a  race win. Very muddy conditions but nice circuit.

Gorey Three Day Cycle Race

Gorey Three Day Cycle Race was great experience. Three stages of 103KM, 123KM and 93KM over the bank holiday weekend. Had a bad stage one but did well on stages two and three. Here are some pictures of the race and a short film of the start and finish of stage 3.

The average speed for the whole race was 40KMH, not too shabby.
