BMX Blitz Race Report and Results

Last Friday the 15th saw the first ever Connaught Bmx race take place under the Twin water towers in the Town of Ballinrobe.
With conditions near perfect for a Novembers night, over 30 BMX participants from ages 4 to 40 and from all parts of the Country took to the jumps and berms of the Western Lakes Cycling club track. Special mention to Gary Davoren who now holds the time for the fastest lap at 51.3 seconds.
Sincere Thanks to all who helped on the night especially to all the stewarts, time keepers, Jeff on Music, Order of Malta and to Breege for the catering.
The event was a great success and fun and craic was had by all. Watch out for the next one which promises to be bigger and better.The track is open every friday night if anyone is interested in giving it a go.
