06/06/2013 Eric Maxwell Time Trial – Warrenpoint

The 6th June proved to be a D Day for some riders as they recorded excellent times at the popular Eric Maxwell Time Trial promoted by West Down Wheelers. The event which is run on the Warrenpoint to Newry dual carriageway was a successful evening  and was pleasantly warm.

Forty six riders turned up to race against the clock. There was a pleasing tail wind on the way towards Newry and a slight gusty head wind on the way back towards Warrenpoint.  John Heverin, last year's winner retained the Eric Maxwell Trophy with an excellent time of 20.11. He was thanked by Billy Maxwell for going to the trouble of having his name engraved on the Eric Maxwell Memorial Cup, a service which the club would normally provide.

Phil Omrod achieved a personal best of 24.24 fifty years after his first PB. Well done Phil.

Sean McIntyre of Orchard continues to show his potential by coming third overall with a great 20.45 beating many seasoned testers such as Thomas Martin of Eurocycles, Matthew Heaney of Clann  Eireann and Kevin Lynch of Newry Wheelers.

Eve Mc Crystal of the Garda Cycling Club made the journey north to compete in this event and recorded an excellent 22.12 and sixteenth overall. Michael Murray of Clann Eireann proves that being a new daddy is the way to go as he came back into the sport with a bang to record a 21.59 on the night.
