North Down Cycle Skills Night
Over sixty kids descended on Bloomfield Shopping Centre last week’s annual North Down School’s Cycling Skills night. The school children were treated to a free bike ‘MOT’ courtesy of Bikeworks, Balloo, Bangor before attempting a variety of skills devised by club coaches, Noel Boyce and Alistair Irvine.
BANGOR COASTAL CHALLENGE A GREAT SUCCESS
Despite the inclement weather on Sunday over 700 cyclists took to the roads for the 8th Coastal Challenge charity cycle event. Organisers North Down Cycling Club was delighted with the turnout and the enthusiasm shown by the willing participants. Among the starters at the Sportsplex in Bangor was a Police Bicycle Unit with Constable Rose on board to keep a watchful eye on the proceedings. This was the first time in Northern Ireland that a Police Service cycle unit was deployed on an event such as the Coastal Challenge and it has been hailed as a success by the organisers.

Conditions, warm, sunny, still!! A great PB on this course from John, a great comeback ride from Deccy and a welcome first outing from Paul Brown. Thanks to Noel and Terry for marshalling. And the excuses: Harry and Mark on the tandem were good for a sub hour ride but for their super-tanker-like turning circle, oh, and the tractor which brought them to a dead stop in Kirkubbin.
Flying Wheels
It’s been a good week for North Down cycling with John Hunter and Paul Swenarton recording times of 22.45 and 22.12 respectively in the Ulster Championship, Noel Boyce taking second place in the combined race at Hillsborough, Paul Ferguson 4th in the Emma McMullan Cup, Nathan McLeer winning his first under 16 race and Stuart Henry finishing 2nd in the Sint baas Vijve race in Belgium.
