Today was the Kerry Time Trial Championship which was organized by Killorglin Cycling Club in association with www.ibike.ie and starting in Tralee. It was 20K and the same route as the Kerry Time Trial League, so from Ballycarthy Roundabout to Castleisland and back. There were 19 starters and I was off in position number 8. The outward journey had the wind to my back and the first 10K was covered in 14 minutes but turning at the roundabout for the return was a real eye opener with a cold and lively breeze straight into my face. I really suffered on the way home and ended up with a time of 33:46 for the 20K and ended up finishing mid table. A bit disappointing considering my last time (33:04) but I am happy that every ounce of energy was left on the road and I could not have given any more.

The new Kerry Cycling champion is Niall Brosnan, a Tralee man cycling in the colours of the Edge Cycling Team. He won a top class race on Saturday with a solo break away halfway through the race to come home a very worthy victor leaving the main bunch 2 mins in his wake. He joins great men like the Iron Man Mick Murphy, Gene Mangan, John Mangan and John Blackwell as the Kerry Champion.

2010 Kerry Championship
A meeting will be held in Ulicks in Farranfore on Tues 17th Aug at 9pm to discuss holding a Kerry Championship this year. This meeting could be well worth attending to find out about the proposed event and suggest possible how it should be run. Hopefully this event will cater for all categories and possible be expanded to include a league or series of events next year.
