📰 📰Welcome to the second monthly newsletter of Crossgar Cycling Club.📰📰
June 2019
☀ We hosted our annual summer BBQ in June, which was a very successful family event. We had good food, good weather and good craic all round. See the write up on Facebook and CCC website for all the bizz from the evening and some photos too. 📸
👑Fantastic to see everybody still enjoying the competition of ‘The Strava League’. This month’s segments were tough and there’s no doubt everyone is improving as the months go on. So, business as usual as Gary consolidates his lead. Team mate Patrick leapfrogs Siv into 2nd place in the individual competition overall. With Gary and Patrick’s Team ‘Square Wheels’ almost unbeatable at this stage as the only team where all riders have scored in all segments in all months!! All details on CCC website including Top 10 scores and the new Segments for July.
🏅Special shout out to top lady in the Strava League Roisin and top young rider Loris.
🥇Another success for our top lady Roisin was her participation in the Shimna Wheelers Downhill Challenge, where Roisin was crowned 1st Lady. Well done Roisin.
🚴♂️Good to see CCC members at numerous sportives throughout the month. There was Twelve Kings Charity Sportive Challenge hosted by Dromore CC, who welcomed a few members to their refreshment stop (even though they hadn’t officially registered😜, they just happened to be in the area, not mentioning any names #brothers lol)
The Tour of the Glens, the Causeway Coastal and Shimna Wheelers Downhill Challenge were well represented. Well done to everyone who donned their Crossgar Jersey and flew the flag🚩 for our club.

❇️Since our last newsletter the club have accumulated a whopping 12,938 miles. That’s alot of peddling, and a lot of coffee ☕ stops with the odd wee ice-cream 🍦 stop when that strange big yellow circle in the sky ☀ made an appearance…… Brilliant effort across the club – Keep spinning those legs!
🏅Cyclist of the month has been awarded to….. 🥁 Drumroll please….. Kurtis Doherty! Not only has Kurtis been accumulating the miles solo, but he has also treated himself to a new bike. Health to enjoy and well done.
It can’t go unmentioned the difference we have all seen since Colm McCaffrey and Donna Burns upgraded their bikes this month. Not to mention the many other cyclists who have been pimping their rides with new helmets, new wheels and even pink socks 🧦 and gloves 🧤 !
🙏A big thank you from the committee on the Housekeeping front. Thanks to all who joined as new members and renewed their membership promptly. Everyone on each club ride is now a fully paid member and more importantly insured through Cycle Ireland to partake in club runs.
🚲 As well as the organised club runs on Tue, Wed, Thur and Sun it is great to see members arranging additional runs. Please remember to post on the club messenger page if you want company.
❓❓As always any questions, suggestions or comments please feel free to contact any member of the committee.
