Enduro National Championships took place last weekend in Ballyhoura Trail Centre where Killarney Cycling Club had six members participating.

It was another trip to the podium for Jason Murphy as he kept on top of the pace and greasy trails for all six stages and finished in second place in the Master's category.
Patrick Cremin was also smooth on the pedals all day, the fastest of the non-elites in the Senior Category.

This great result would normally see Patrick standing on the top step at the end of the day but with the nationals incorporating elite riders within the age categories, Patrick had to make way on the podium for Ireland's three top Enduro racers.

Adam Murphy continued showing great style and form on the trails but an unfortunate mechanical issue on stage one would end up costing him 15 seconds and narrowly missing out on a chance at the Under 21 Title.
Paddy Moore, Tom Costelloe and Senan Cotter all pushed themselves in the highly competitive under 17 age group category, and came away with invaluable racing experience at a National level.

The Munster Criterium Championships took place on August 13, osted by Greenmount Cycling Academy in it's new home of Limerick Race Course in Limerick.

Killarney Cycling Club riders continued their run of strong results from last year's race with Milo Donaldson initiating an attack in the final quarter of the race and riding aggressively to second place.

Mark McGlynn and Frank Doherty worked their way towards the front in the bunch sprint behind to finish fourth and seventh respectively. These three strong finishes resulted in Killarney Cycling Club taking the team prize for the second year in a row.

In recent racing hosted by neighbouring club Sliabh Luachra, Pierce Curtin put in a strong performance in the A4 race finishing second while Luke Costelloe took seventh in the A3 race.
