    Last night a group of like minded individuals came together ordered some pints sat down and out came the first form of a new club.
    Velo Club Balrothery (VCB).
    A commitee was formed.
    More pints were ordered.
    A design was agreed upon.
    More pints were ordered.
    We agreed to take triathletes (too many pints have been ordered :eek:)
    Many things were talked about.

    Now for some pedantic points:
    Yes there were more then 6 so it will be CI acceptable.
    We have agreed that we wont approach riders from other clubs as its not good form.
    The kit will be deadly.


    ALLEZ VCB........

    It's not an offshoot of Swords but a brand new seperate entity.
    However we will try and link and hold ties with Swords.




    Oh and if there is to be a Sportive in the future I am banned from having anything to do with the route.

    Indeed, make it like nothing that has been used before. Think Lampre cross with Cannondale ;)

    It's a common delusion in Balrothery that they're somehow separate from Balbriggan. ;)

    Anyway best of luck with the new club Bcmf. If I end up living in the house I own in Balbriggan someday I'll be giving you a shout.

    Balrothery may be a few kilometres from Balbriggan but a world apart ��.
    When we were buying the house the estate agent said to us ' Balrothery is a good choice as its the Southside of Balbriggan'.

    She didn't lie to you, my house is on the north side of Balbriggan. There's a reason I don't live there anymore.

    I think I can guess where it is. The general area. Not the worst place to have a place to rent.

    Compulsory. As is a coffee stop for every 70km cycled.

    With just a bit of Meath, acting as a buffer, between the two.

    I believe that you need to be CI affiliated for 18months before any promoting can get done.
    But yes it was talked about.
    A North County Classic!

    Well if you could just get the Lion of Fingal on board, together with a couple of those other vets that set up another local club this year, you will definitely be reminding me of one of my all-time favourite TV programmes

    Not worked out which one of you is Private Pike yet though .....:pac:
