A beautiful night followed a terrible morning of rain and general dullness. The club championships were a interesting affair with riders racing against their teammates not the other riders so with only 4 UCD riders racing it was a strange experience.
Ciaran, Ben, Niall and Anto raced and the group split on a whopper of a climb with Ciaran and Anto at the front of it and Niall and Ben at the back of it.
During the race Anto made many attacks to try and cross the line first in a group of about 20 riders mostly from Lucan with some Usher and Orwell in there too. The pace was steady but fast on the short climbs and as expected it came down to a sprint and Anto came strong at the end coming about 5th and half a wheel ahead of Ciaran. It was well deserved as Anto was constantly trying to get away on his own or with one other.
The main group came through about one minute down and the skipper came flying in well up the front out sprinting many of them with Ben following close behind. A good race on the toughest course so far in the club league. The points have now been adjusted in the league table with Ciaran in 24th and Ben in 28th overall. Anthony the new club champion is lying in 146th place.
