By April 8, 2011 Club News

CLOSING DATE FOR ENTRIES IS FAST APPROACHING!

It seems like it was only yesterday that the Carrick Wheelers Challenge Sportive was launched, and yet the closing date for entries, Sunday 22nd May, is fast approaching. Billed as Ireland’s toughest cycling event for 2011, this new event on the Irish cycling calendar has generated great interest among the cycling fraternity and is being widely spoken of by both the competitive racing cyclists, tri-athletes and  serious leisure cyclists. Judging by the number of “hits” on the Carrick Wheelers website, the cyclists are looking up the details of the testing route and are very interested in finding out about the “new” climbs never raced on before.

The club website, http://carrickwheelers.com/?page_id=625 has all the details, with maps, route details and on-line and postal entry, and with entry strictly limited to the first 300 entries received, don’t risk being disappointed and enter right away.

T SHIRTS

One of the main reasons for the early closing date is to ensure that each cyclist will receive a specially commissioned T shirt in the correct size at the finish. Carrick Wheelers are very pleased with the design and quality of the shirt, as it is made from the highest quality “ dry – fit” material, and they are confident that all the finishers will make great use of it for both training and racing in the weeks and months after the event.

So get in your entry as soon as possible, and don’t forget to select your correct T shirt size with your entry, then all you have to do is get fit enough to complete the Carrick Wheelers Challenge Sportive !!
