This Sunday, the Island Wheelers are hosting the hugely anticipated PJ Logan Cup Road Race. Over 150 riders are expected to take to the unusual figure of eight circuit outside Coalisland. The 6.8 mile circuit is fast and furious with no breaks for tired legs; any descents are suddenly swept up into yet another climb. The nature of the circuit promises some fantastic racing for the spectators, with groups coming round quickly from different directions.
The circuit itself starts along the Tartlaghan Road, and takes a left onto the Bush Road. The race then takes a left at the Bush crossroads, another left off the Cavan Road to Coash Road. At the Drumkee Crossroads the race takes a right then a left onto the Ballynakelly Road followed by another left onto the Coash Road, and finally a right at the Drumkee Crossroad. The A race will complete eight laps of the circuit, the B race will do five laps, and the Masters and Ladies race three laps.
The first race starts at 13.30 with all racing scheduled to come to a conclusion around 16.00. The Committee would request public co-operation of residents living in the area by ensuring all animals, particularly dogs, are safely secured during the race and by making sure cars are parked of the circuit. Thanks to all in advance.
A total of 18 Wheelers have signed up for the days racing, let’s hope the home advantage can lead to a number of results! In the B Race, Island Wheeler Dermot Donaghy, will undoubtedly be a marked man after putting in some impressive early season results including a 4th place in the Phoenix GP. The Island Wheelers would like to wish everybody taking part in Sunday’s race’s to have an enjoyable and safe race, hopefully the weather picks up too!
