by  on  in Events, News • 0 Comments

The Wexford County Road Road Race Championships 2016 will be held on Saturday July 23rd. Sign on at Naomh Eanna GAA Complex, Clonattin, Gorey at 9.30am with the first riders off at 10.30am sharp. A4’s will go off first followed by A3’s then the A2’s & A1’s.

The route will take the riders north up to Kilmurray cross roads and a right turn heading for Ballymoney village. In the village the riders will turn left, passing the Tara Vale Pub, and tackle the first climb (details) up to a T-junction. Turning right, the route follows the lumpy road all the way around Tara Hill. Going through Tara Hill village the riders will start another short climb, which will bring them along to the T-junction at the top of Kilmurray Hill. Turning left at this junction will start the fast descent back to Kilmurray crossroads and the end of the lap. At the bottom turn left again to start a new lap. Its 5 laps but a very lumpy hard road.

On the last lap when you descend Kilmurray you will go straight through the cross roads back towards the sign on location and finish at the 50km speed signs near the Naomh Eanna GAA complex. The finish is a perfect straight up a slight incline.

GoreyCC League - Race 1

1916 Commemoration Cycle

by  on  in Events, News, Photos • 0 Comments

On Good Friday, GoreyCC members Kevin, Gerry and Jason cycled from the GPO in Dublin to the Civic Centre in Gorey to commemorate the epic cycle undertaken by Paul Galligan from Dublin to Enniscorthy in 1916 to say that the rising was to go ahead.

The lads had an early start from Gorey and arrived outside the GPO about 8.30am. After meeting up with fellow cyclist Donal Evoy and a quick photo, it was onto the road for the approx. 94km ride home. It was a very enjoyable cycle in what turned out to be very good conditions for the time of year, despite a light headwind most of the way. They were welcomed at the Civic Centre in Gorey by family, fellow club members, town councillors and photographers about 1pm.

Thanks to Joe Dixon Photos and Derek Webb for some of the shots.

Gorey 3 Day Stage 4

by  on  in Information, News, Photos • 0 Comments
Our 3 man team rode a very good race and both Joe Christian and Murt Doyle went into Monday’s final stage in very strong positions. Joe was lying in 12th overall after 3 stages, while Murt was only 3 seconds behind in 15th, so they were very confident in improving on that over the final leg from Gorey back to Blessington. John Whyte lay further back in the field after suffering an injury on Saturday’s Stage 1.
Joe got into a group of 6 riders who were over 20 seconds ahead of the main bunch for a good portion of the stage. They were eventually caught close to Blessington so everyone was gearing up for a bunch sprint finish. However, there was a crash near the front with about 3km to go, which John managed to avoid, but unluckily, Joe and Murt got held up behind it and lost some time on the leaders.
Joe’s final placing was a very respectable 35th with Murt just behind in 38th. John improved on his earlier position and finished the race in 107th place. The club would like to thank all who helped out over the weekend, including those directly assisting the riders in the support vehicles led by Derek Webb, all who marshalled the traffic along the course and the club sponsors for all their encouragement and assistance. Bring on 3Day 2016!

Gorey 3 Day Stages 2 & 3

by  on  in Events, Information, News, Photos • 0 Comments

Sunday morning saw the first of two stages taking place that day. First up was the Time Trial from Clogh into Gorey.  We saw great performances from Murt, John and Joe in the with Joe clocking an impressive 8’02” and Murt catching his minute man with a time of 8’06” placing them 11th and 16th respectively for the stage. John clocked 9’16” for 133rd in the TT.

Stage 3 took place Sunday afternoon. It was a 4 lap circuit between Gorey, Craanford and Camolin with a distance of 96km. There were several attacks off the front, but nothing stuck for long and it came down to a bunch sprint in the end with Henri Jung from the french team Vceckwersheim taking the spoils. All the GoreyCC lads finished comfortably in the main field.

Monday’s final Stage 4 sees Joe lying in 12th overall, 2’17” down on the leader and Murt only 3 seconds behind him in 15th overall. John will start Stage 4 in 117th overall.
