Gorey 3 Day Race Report
While some LCC members were racing Ras Mumhan last weekend Stephen Clancy competed in the Gorey 3 day. The first stage saw Stephen puncture and crash and have to work extremely hard to get back on. The rest of the race was better for Stephen finishing 27th out of 150 in the time trial, collecting points and a 2nd place in the KOH on the second stage leaving Stephen 3rd overall in KOH and finishing a very creditable 6th on the final stage.
