Eddie Dawson has sent an e-mail requesting that anyone who is a competent bike mechanic might wish to take part in the Rás this year - 20-27th May. They would travel by motor bike - being ridden by one of the Rás men and although the work is voluntary, accommodation and meals are paid for.

At the North Tipperary Wheelers Christmas party in The Thatched Cottage on Saturday 10th December, Pat Bergin was revealed as Cyclist of the Year for 2011. A great achievement for a man who only started cycling with the club in July 2010. He has trained hard and through his own determination not only turned out for nearly every race but also took an amazing number of podium places. The whole club salutes and congratulates him!

2011 CLUB HILL CLIMB CHAMPION IS PAT BERGIN

Pat Bergin - Club Hill Climb Champion for 2011

In only his second season of racing, Pat Bergin has captured two out of three Club Championship titles - a remarkable feat and he is to be congratulated. He took the Hill Climb trophy on Sunday 25th September in truly horrible conditions - rain, wind and the road carpeted with fallen leaves! Liam Callaghan took second - just 30 seconds behind and Mikey Connors was 3rd in his first Championship placing. The fastest time went to Eamon Hartnett in 9.01 with Pat 2 secs. behind him and Tommy Hanrahan in 3rd.

That was the final race of the season and the next item is the club Get-Together in Una Powell's pub next Saturday night.
