First Tour of the
Season Jan
20th 2008
Report by John Ward
A group of riders left Swords at 9am and cycled over meet
up with the IVCA 'East Meath Tour' which was departing
from the Pope's Cross at 10. The Tour started at a
relaxed pace and most riders seemed to have good
condition and the large group of approx 40 riders pretty
much stayed together on the outward leg. The pace lifted
ever so slightly when the group turned right heading for
Dunsany, and the return leg was brisk (to put it mildly!).
All Swords riders were in good condtion and showed good
form for at such an early stage of the season. Special
mention to Tommy Markham, who rode very well, welcome
back. Congrats to Ciara and best of luck with her new
bike. This lightweight special seemed to sprout wings
when the road went up! Swords was well represented on the
tour considering the weather and so early in the season.
Rumour has it that Victor Hynes was away on an early
spring training camp, and was sporting a great pre-season
tan. We believe he is buying mudguards................for
whoever was riding in front of him on the way in!
Please keep an eye on the Swords touring page for up and
coming tours.
Regards John
