The Calendar for ther 2011 mid ulster league has now been agreed and is now on the website here, as you can see there has been very little change to the 2010 league except that it now only includes 3 clubs as Orchard are not taking part so each club will have 7 events to organise. Also a few small changes have been made and they are:

1) A separate ladies and possibly junior trophy will be up for grabs in 2011,this will be competed for on a handicap basis

2) The hill climb will incorporate two other events on 3 nights in a row in July which will be completely separate from the league and will have separate prizes, full format of the 3 day will be worked out over the next few months, your input will be greatly appreciated

3) The first 5 events will start at the normal time of 7pm, the events will then start at 7.30pm until August when the time will revert back to 7pm. This is aimed at making it possible for more people to get to races after their work day

4) At the end of the league at the presentation night people attending will be asked to vote for the rider who has shown the best fair play attitude over the season. The person with the most votes will receive the league fair play award

5) Entry fee will remain at £2 for all riders

The above new format is in addition to the existing rules of the league that have been in place for a few years. Clubs are asked to provide 3 names per TT event and 4 per road race to myself to put on the sheet as race organisers. I have taken the liberty of putting names to all Apollo events. If anyone can not do a particular event please contact me as soon as possible so that I can make amendments. No amendments will be made during the running of the league so if you are then unable to help out it is your responsibility to get your own replacement

Trailquest Lady Dixon Park – 5th December 2010

Hi Dudes,

Despite the arctic weather, today was a great day out at the Dromara cycling clubs trailquest. Paul and myself (The Pukes of Hazard) registered online and were out of the starting blokes at 10.56 with map and coordinates. Being the usual well prepared duo we didn’t have a map board to put the map and coordinates on so we just pinned them to our jerseys. Not ideal but better than cycling with one had on the bar and the other holding up the map to check where we had to go to.

We took in some checkpoints well out from the start close to Kingsway before heading across the M1 again to get to Mary Peters where there were some easy pickings. The trails were slippery and we had to try to catch the grass on the verge to avoid a fall. Even the trails through the forest areas were frozen solid and were very treacherous. We got round without any falls with a good selection of checkpoints on our sheet.

No prizes but we had a taxing and fun three hours plus workout. There is a trailquest almost ever week until mid January with one on our own trails at the lakes. With the weather as it is and road work not possible or safe, this is a great way to keep the wheels turning. Much better than a boring turbo. Anybody up for them over the next number of weeks should post their interest on the site so we can get more yellow jerseys on the start line.
