Week 2 of the Cycling Pursuits Time Trial League on Thursday 28 April saw an increase in club members competing with appearances by Ruaidhri and Brian Devitt, both looking to lay down a solid marker to chase over the coming weeks. Tommy Byrnes, John McCormack and Dermot Radford were out again this week aiming to improve on their times posted in Week 1 of the event. Last year’s winner and Tipperary Wheelers member Liam Butler, representing Limerick Tri Club in this event, was also out to try surpass his last performance. With excellent conditions, identical to last week, it was down to the riders themselves to perform on the night.
The performances by all club members were superb with the following times being recorded:
John McCormack 30 min 58 sec Avg Speed: 35.45 kph
Tommy Byrnes 27 min 54 sec Avg Speed: 39.36 kph
