This week the racing continued in Balscadden and Stamullen in a series of races run by Stamullen Cycling Club. On Saturday Ed O’Brien contested the A2 event, while juniors Sean Lee and Harry Brooks contested the A3/junior event. On Sunday at Stamullen Geoff Robinson rode well in the A1/A2 event while Ian Murphy, Graham Kearns, David Hennessy and Sam Gilmore junior rode the A3 event.
There was a large contingent of vets contesting the IVCA divided mass start race at Summerhill County Meath and all rode well, dominating the events due to their large numbers.
