Eileen wins 25 at Ards.

Sunday, May 17, 2015
Eileen Burns won round two of the Ulster women’s time trial league, on Sunday morning, when she clocked an excellent time of 59 minutes 22 seconds in the Ards cycling club’s "Champion of champions” 25 miles time trial on a traditional out and back course from Newtownards to Kircubbin.
Conditions were very windy as Eileen explains "I have never done this course before, and I didn't have the time on the morning to drive around it so I didn't know what to expect. It was on a winding coastal road, which was very exposed, with some rolling sections. The force of the sharp side gusts took me by surprise as I use a back disc wheel, meaning that I got buffeted across the road. I enjoyed it though.”
