marcus2Marcus Christie Smashes 50 Record
Maryland wheelers ran their annual Tommy Givan 50 mile time tiral this morning on the Woodgreen circut and this year it also doubled up as the Ulster Championships.  There was a good turnout on a fantastic day with many riders setting impressive times.

However it was Marcus Christie who recorded a fantastic time of one hour forty minutes and ten seconds over the fifty miles which works out a just below 30 mph average speed.

Marcus Christie blasted the current Senior record of 1: 45:42 set by John Heverin of Clann Eireann when he recorded a blistering 1:40:10.

The time was over seven minutes faster than second placed rider on the day, John Madden of Curran Racing, one of Ireland’s top testers who recorded a 1:47:22 to take the Ulster Veterans’ title. The new record which requires ratification by Cycling Ireland will be a hard one to beat.

Third on the day was Cuchulainn’s Bryan McCyrstal who recorded a 1:47:26 although he is not eligible for the Ulster Silver medal which goes to John Heverin of Clann Eireann who also takes silver in the veterans’ competition with his 1:47:32. Sean McIntyre of Orchard CC taks bronze in the senior Championships with Mark Greer doing the same in the veterans’ event.
