Open Racing

Claire Ni Reachtagain was in race action again at the weekend and took part in the first round of the women’s intermediate league, the Waller cup in Bohermeen which was organised by the women’s commission. 34 riders strong signed on for the race, a 3 lap 16.5km circuit. Three riders came down on the first lap but thankfully Claire was towards the back of the bunch so managed to slow up and avoid cycling over a few bodies. However it left her with a good bit of work to do to get back up to the bunch as her chain had come off. The group wasn’t really cohesive and didn’t work together so in the interest of her own safety she sat at the front of the bunch for the remaining two laps. She said she tried to make a few breaks but sadly, none were successful and she was reeled back in. There was a bit of a bunch sprint to the finish but she didn’t have any legs left to contest! The second round of the league racing takes place next Sunday, April 29th. Claire very well done, you are going from strength to strength and all those races will stand to you in the future. We wish you the best of luck next weekend and we look forward to hearing all about it.
