Johnny Davey Xmas Time Trial 2011

After almost 20 years on the shelf the Johnny Davey Cup has been resurected for 2011 in the guise of a novelty time trial where riders must guess their times to win a prize. Top prize for the TT was a Christmas turkey won by none other than local TT specialist Michael Devins who was only 16 seconds shy of his estimated time.

On a cold and windy morning at Rosses Point 15 riders took to the starting blocks and raced hell for leather into Sligo and back. Luckily the rain held off and all riders enjoyed the challenge. In the scramble for prizes Devins was closest to the mark at only 16 seconds from his prediction with Alan kelly hot on his heels a mere 1 second adrift being only 17 seconds away from his own predicted time. An other man who is no stranger to time trials , Brian Sexton, was a further second adrift at 18 seconds. 3 seconds seperated the first 3 riders on the day. Great performance from all involved. A notable mention must go to Keelan Mooney, the youngest rider in the event who flew in from Switzerland to participate in his first bike race, being a Mooney no doubt it will not be his last..!

A big thanks to the race marshalls and helpers on the day.
