The premier prize is of course the Sam McQuigg cup for the club’s senior time trial best all-rounder competition. This has three qualifying distances at 10 miles 25 miles and 50 miles.

Steven’s next win came in the Grand Prix of the glens time trial on 20th June when his winning time of 1 hour 35 minutes 51 seconds earned him the Tommy Talbot cup. This year’s glens event was different to normal as it started in Broughshane, instead of from the Ecos roundabout. The riders also had to negotiate the Garron road, after Carnlough, because of the detour put in place following the land slide on the coast road.

Trophy four for Steven was the Ernie Mark cup 25 miles time trial at Woodgreen on 25th July when his winning time was a personal best 52 minutes 49 seconds.

Tickets.

Ticket sales for this year’s BRC prize presentation dinner have been exceptionally good, so much so there is a real possibility that the event may be over- subscribed as space is limited at the Eaton park venue to just over one hundred guests. Club members who have booked and paid for their tickets, which cost £17.50 each, will naturally be given first priority

Those who haven’t paid yet should do so by next Monday night 26th November, at the latest.
