Great start to the club racing season

There was a big turnout for the first club race of the season. 31 riders faced the timekeepers – more than double the number for the same event last year.

It was great to see several new faces in Ards CC jerseys, and also some new visitors from Killinchy CC.

Fastest man on the night, and the only rider to dip under the magical 25mph barrier, was the ever green William Gill. He takes an early lead in the club Best All Rounder competition. Can anyone stop him winning 6 trophies again this year?

This event also counts towards the 5 mile handicap trophy. Points are awarded to the riders who beat their previous personal bests by the biggest margins. Early leader in this competition is Darren Colville.
