📰📰 📰 Welcome to the August 2019 monthly newsletter 📰 📰 📰
STRAVA League has come to an end, watch this space for the final scores and commentary provided by Kieran McVeigh. Coming very soon
👚 Good to see CCC jerseys at another local sportive killinchy 150. We also had members partake in Lap the Lough and Tour De Boyne Valley.
The weather for killinchy was not favourable, we had our fair share of wind and a bad downpour of rain but the smell of BBQ from bay view Rd kept everyone going to the end 🍔. The following week then guys got a great day for Lap the Lough. Then Tour de boyne Valley was not so good weatherwise. Albeit all events were very well organised and raised significant funds for very worthy charities.
❇️Some fantastic achievements 👑 , 🏆, 🏅being gained by CCC members. Combination of club runs, Sportives, Strava League, solo rides and other social runs organised by members ad hoc are clicking up significant miles on the Strava club page. Keep on pedalling.
☔ 🍃 ⛈️The good aul weather is going to begin play havoc with club runs. We have already had a few club runs cancelled due to rain and wind. Please check our Facebook and messenger page for notification of cancelled runs. There is a different road captain rota’d each week who will make the final decision and advise accordingly.
🏅Cyclist of the month has been awarded to….. Drum roll please….. 🥁 🥁 🥁 Shaunagh Crowe. Shaunagh has shown great commitment and enthusiasm since she joined the ladies only programme earlier in the year. She has taken part in a few sportives, Killinchy 80km being one and is absolutely Smashing it. Even going on hill hunting expeditions on Monday nights #coileyhill. Shaunagh rarely misses an opportunity to get out, joins in with the Development Run, Social Run and completed strangford lough loop 60+ miles no bother at all. Well done Shaunagh
