This will be 70 miles, so everyone should keep
getting the miles in.
Monthly meeting
The next monthly meeting will be in Sallys on Monday
6th Sept @ 8pm
Well done to Ann Mc
Farland
The club would like pass on their congrats to
Ann Mc Farland who came seventh in the UCI World
Master's Championships last week and fourth in the
World Cup. Coming back from a hard year of illness
and personal sadness she struggled to get back on
form to tackle this event. For all women out there
Ann is an example of what can be achieved against
all the odds if you have the guts and
determination. She is an inspiration to us all.
Ann is always battling away in our road races and
putting many of the men to same each Tuesday
night.

Inishowen 100 report
Sun 15th August,
Foyle CC hosted the Inishowen 100 cycle Tour.
Omagh Wheelers were out in force, with a mixture
of touring and racing riders taking part. Assembly
point was Extreme Cycles at 7.00am. Temperatures
were low with a lingering mist present. However as
the mist lifted it proved to be a glorious sunny
day. The tour started and finished at Templemore
Sports Complex. In all 175 riders, clubmen and
independents took part. There truly is a good
feeling riding in a peloton this size. The early
miles saw the group wind in round Buncrana and on
for Mamore Gap. From the distance this didn't look
too bad but once on the hill opinions quickly
changed. The scene was like a mountain stage of
the 'Tour De France'. Riders were up out of the
saddle swinging handle bars from one side to the
other as every inch of power was pushed through
the pedals. Riders received a welcome cheer from a
large crowd at the top. The was not a rumour,
Mamore is tough. Once the obligatory pictures were
taken, next came the decent. This was tricky, high
speeds and a narrow windy road spelled disaster
for some riders. For these men their day was over.
Thankfully all of the Omagh Wheelers negotiated
the terrain without injury. The Tour headed for
Ballyliffin, Carndonagh and looped up round Malin
Head where the first tea stop was positioned. Next
we headed for Kinnegoe Bay, however hill after
hill 'punched' at the riders will to get round.
With around 70miles on the clock Kinnegoe to
Greencastle proved to be a massive ask of all
concerned. There wasn't much chat in this section.
The second pit stop in Greencastle was like an
oasis. Riders lay like grey seals soaking up the
sun. The job wasn't finished just yet. The spin
back to base was a delight in the sunshine, it
seemed as if we were on the Continent. Well done
to all Omagh Wheelers who took part, Enda Harper,
Brian Mimnagh, Sean McLaughlin, Roger Harkness,
Ivor Martin, Kevin McDaid, Danny Whyte, Seamus
Keenan, Paul Coyle, Eunan McCarron, Liam Harte and
Gerard Crawford. Those were hard earned T-shirts.
Hill Climb Results
Congratulations to Gavin Mc Kernan who has won
the hill climb league for 2010, and to James Mc
Girr who won the visitor league.

Lakeland mass start
On Wednesday evening at 7pm Lakeland has there
last road race of season which is as mass start
from the 3 ways inn.
This always proves to be a very enjoyable race
and members are been encouraged to support our
neighbours.
Sunday 22nd August - Tour
of the North Coast
Also on Sunday Bann Valley promote their leisure
Tour of the North Coast. The event starts from
Portglenone Community Centre. Further details will
be added as soon as we receive them.
Sunday 22nd August -
Ulster Road Race Championships
On Sunday 22nd August Draynes Farms and Phoenix CC
will host the Ulster RR Championships 2010 on the
Dundrod circuit. All races are pre-entry, the
forms for which can be downloaded from the Phoenix
CC Message Board.
The Ulster Senior Men's Champions will also
receive the George Wilkes Memorial Cup which was
won by Thomas Martin last year.
Sign on will be at the Lamh Dearg centre on the
Hannastown Rd just outside Belfast (paste
54.587769,-6.036494 into google maps for a
location) and NOT in Crumlin as advertised in the
CI calendars. Sign on will commence at 9:30 and
will close at 10:30. The racing will begin at
11:00 from the start/finish line at the motorbike
pits, see map below for details. There will be no
organised roll out to the start/finish line from
Lamh Dearg.
It is regretted that, due to the new CI
regulations regarding race distances, male A4
riders will not be able to compete in the Elite
race due race distance restrictions. There will,
however, be a separate A4 race held, which will
start after the woman’s race has finished. This
race is a normal A4 race and ie NOT an Ulster
Championship.
Due to the shorter distance of the woman’s race,
A4 category women can ride in the championships
and will receive a short handicap, again due to
the new regulations.
There will be championship races for juniors,
seniors and veterans who are not A4s and all
women. All entry fees are £10/€10 except
juniors who pay £5/€5.
Distances are:
Juniors and seniors: 9 laps = 66 miles aprox.
Vets: 7 laps = 50 miles aprox.
Women: 4 laps = 30 miles aprox.
A4 race: 4 laps = 30 miles aprox (starts after the
woman’s race has finshed).
(Please note race distances may have to be changed
on the day.)
entry forms can be downloaded from:

JP 5th in Billy Stewart
Cup
Derrymacash resembled the South of France at the
beginning of the Apollo promoted Billy Stewart Cup
as riders put on the sun cream on what was one of
the hottest days of the year. In total 58 riders
signed on for the 7 lap event with the A4 riders
receiving a 7 minute handicap.
It was soon evident that this would not be enough
as the limit group had clawed back almost 2
minutes after only 10 miles of racing, the 16
hardy souls pushed on regardless and held out
until the 4th lap when they were hauled back in
and the race all came together.
The status quo was not to remain like this for
long with a strong Newry team constantly on the
attack. The constant pressure soon paid off and
with 2 laps remaining seven riders Stephen
McAllister(Ballymoney) Darren Weir (Dromara CC)
John Paul Connelly (Omagh Wheelers) Desi Foley
& Nathan Morgan (Newry Wheelers) John Madden
(Curran Racing) and Kyle Houston (Phoenix CC)
slipped of the front of the bunch.
At the start of the final lap the break had 1
minute and did not look like being caught and the
race stayed like this until the end. Nathan Morgan
took up the sprint with about 1km to go and was
quickly followed by Stephen McAllister. These two
drew away from their break companions with
McAllister proving strongest at the line. John
Madden led the other over the line followed by
Darren Weir, John Paul Connelly, Desi Foley and
Kyle Houston. Kyle Houston took the A3 prize with
Conor Judge of the promoting club Apollo the best
A4 rider.
Pod tops the podium
Well done to Pod Graham who won the road race
in Tempo last Wednesday night promoted by
Lakeland.
Andrew, Ivan Reid and Eugene Power worked tirelessly
in the second group to stay away from scratch,
with Pod taking the uphill sprint finish and Ivan
in 3rd.
Touring Points
Roger has updated the touring points table on
Touring page.

On Tuesday 3rd Aug there was a big turn out for

The route was Omagh, Beragh, Sixmilecross,
Carrickmore, Omagh. There were 3 groups on the
night with the front group getting 3 minutes on
the 2nd and middle group getting 2 and half to
scratch.
the 2nd group caught the 1st just outside
Sixmilecross with some really fast strong riding,
the elites in scratch where unable to make the
difference only taking 50 seconds back from the
second group.
This left a bunch sprint for the line, with man
of the moment Adam Lyons continuing his strong run
of form to take the line by a few bike lengths.

RR 4
Tuesday 20th July saw Omagh's forth road race
of the year. This was a tough 40 Mile race
starting from Omagh, making its way to Castlederg,
then over Scraghy to Ederney then finishing at
Drumlish. The race was part sponsored by Mc
Laughlin Plant Sales, Drumquin.
There was a big turn out on the night with
almost 50 racers signing on split into 3 groups,
with time handicaps of 4 and 3.5 minutes respectively.
The second group caught the first around Killen,
with the scratch group catching the second 400
yards from finish. But by this time 2 riders
namely Ivan Reid and Adam Lyons had attacked the
main group and got away with Adam taking the line,
and Ivan finishing second.
Paul Mulligan then took the bunch sprint for
third.
The rest of the placing's will follow as soon
as they are available.

Mulligan
Wins Sport Active Women's RR League
At the Madigan GP today
the final round of the Martin Birney sponsored
Sportactive Womens League was won by Ciara McManus
(U/A) who came in 15" ahead of Ciara
Mulholland Clann Eireann, with Geraldine Gill (Bohermeen
CC), however this would not effect the league as
Julie Mulligan (Omagh Wheelers) had done enough to
travel to Carrick today as the winner, Mulligan
was presented with her trophy by Stephen Burns on
behalf of Martin Birney.
Draw winners
Congregations to Vincent Mc Carron and Laurence
Strain who won the Monthly prize draw of £100 for
July and August.
Members are still been urged to get involved in
this draw as it could bring much needed funds to
the club if everyone would take part.

Omagh 3 day major success
The
inaugural Omagh Wheelers 3- Day came to a close
today and was hailed by everyone involved as a
huge success.
The
action all began on Friday evening when 49 riders
from 15 different teams ranging from the best of
local club cyclists to teams from as far away as
Clann Eireann and North Pole lined up to take on
the 3.8 mile straight time trial on the Dromore
Road.
It
was evident from the outset that the pace was
going to be high over the weekend with the top ten
riders averaging close to 30 MPH on the fast
course. Surprise winner on the night was the late
entry of East Tyrone rider, Gary Jeffers who
recorded a time of 7 minutes and 55 seconds, just
edging out Lakeland’s Kenny Boylan on 7.58.
Local man, Adam Lyons ( Team Basso)was just 2
seconds adrift on 8.00 while last week’s
Lakeland 2 day winner, Gavin McKernan (Omagh A)
was a further 2 seconds back. Just 30 seconds
separated the top ten riders which set the scene
for an exciting 2 days of racing to come.
At
noon on Saturday the riders, undeterred by
the damp conditions, set off on the first road
race, starting from Youth Sport on the Cookstown
Road. This 30 mile event would see the riders take
on the challenge of the rolling hills of Creggan,
Greencastle, and Gortin before the infamous climb
over Gortin Glens to the finish line on the
outskirts of Omagh. After Friday evening, Jeffers
was in yellow and was happy to sit in the pack and
watch while various early attacks were launched
but eventually brought back into the pack. Adam
Lyons made his intentions clear from an early
stage taking the King of The Hills at both
Mountfield and Greencastle.
As
expected, the Glens split the race wide open but
most of the riders in the top overall positions
safely made it over the top together, with Lyons
yet again taking maximum King of the Hills points
at the summit. On the descent the pace eased again
allowing a group of around 20 riders to assemble
and make their way back into Omagh and the finish
line. The inevitable sprint finish was won by
Lyons, with Jeffers and Lakeland’s Raymond Kerr
in hot pursuit. With all the front group riders
finishing together though, the result made no
difference to the overall standings and the time
gaps remained as they were after Friday
evening’s time trial.
The
third and final stage ensued on Sunday at noon
with the riders leading out on a rolling start
from the premises of co-event sponsors, Xtreme
Cycles on the Derry Road, Omagh. This much
anticipated 40 mile stage was to take the riders
through Drumquin and onto Castlederg before a left
turn for Scraghey and Ederney before another left
and into Lack with the finish line close to
Drumlish School.
On
this stage the pace was sharp from the outset with
a number of gallant breakaway attempts, from
Lakeland riders in particular. As expected, the
field split decisively though on the climb at
Scraghey with a group of about 12 riders first
over the summit. This time Ivan Reid (Derg Arms)
took maximum points on the King of the Hills but
Lyons had by this stage accumulated enough points
to ensure he was outright winner of King of The
Hills. Within the top group however was the yellow
jersey of Jeffers and it became clear that he was
not going to relinquish his lead easily. A very
fast run into Ederney ensued with a group of about
20 riders setting the pace.
Seamus
Keenan (Omagh A) then took many by surprise when
he broke clear on the climb through Lack and with
just 2 mile to the finish line had built up
a lead of 27 seconds. This however before
Jeffers, aided by East Tyrone team mates, decided
to take control and work together to reel him back
in with less than a mile to go. And so another
sprint finish was to ensue with Lyons first to the
line again just ahead of Jeffers and Lakeland’s
Mark McGirr. The front group, now of around 16
riders, all recorded the same time which again
meant no change in the overall classification from
the Friday night.
Jeffers
then was to prove a worthy winner with Kenny
Boylan second. Adam Lyons rode outstandingly to
take third overall, King of The Hills and first
Omagh Wheeler. Gavin McKernan continued his
excellent run of form to take fourth spot ahead of
Lakeland’s Mark Kavannagh and William Dunlop.
7th
Place went to Omagh Wheeler’s Seamus Keenan with
Lakeland’s
Neil Armstrong, Fergus McGirr, and Omagh Wheeler
Kieran Logue (Derg Arms) rounding of the top ten.
In
the team classification, with 15 different teams
taking part, the Lakeland team of Kavannagh,
William and Julian Dunlop held of the challenge of
the Omagh team of McKernan, Keenan and Paul Coyle
to win with a margin of just 4 seconds. East
Tyrone rider Ann McFarland put in a top
performance on Sunday in particular to claim the
first lady prize.
The
Club would like to thank all those who made the
event a great success, from the excellent
marshals, Paul Devenney, Trevor Lecky, Donal Deery,
leo Mc Kenna and Anthony Mc Girr, through
to all those worked tirelessly behind the scenes,
Hugh Mc Cann, Enda Harper, Sean Mc Laughlin, Brian
Mimnagh, Paul
Mc Memamin and Seamus Keenan and a massive thanks
to Patrick Withers who keep the whole event
running perfect as head commissaire. And a big
thanks to all our sponsors, to whom the Club is
greatly indebted.
Got
your entry in for next year yet!!!
