The National Time Trials were held in
Castlebar on Saturday 5th of September in very blustery
weather conditions. Among the veteran riders competing were
Seamus McGowan and Timmy McCarthy.
In spite of the very windy conditions,
Seamus cycled the 40k course in a personal best time of
64:27. This was an outstanding cycle for Seamus who was
riding his new TT bike for the first time. Timmy McCarthy
posted a very respectable time of 77:58. Considering thet
Timmy was riding an ordinary road bike, this was a very good
time also.
Seamus, along with Collette Hennigan have
been consistent riders in the Connaught TT league throughout
the summer of 2009.
