Star Trophy Grand Prix of the Glens Road Race.

Sunday, June 28, 2015
46 riders took part on the Star Trophy Glens Race on Wednesday night, 24th June. The race was handicapped with 4 groups and an overall 12 minutes from front to back.
Although conditions were favourable some riders struggled to stay in their groups before the descent into Carnlough. However Laura Blair and Derek Dougan, from the limit group, maintained a lead until Waterford but on the climb at Glenariff, positions changed rapidly. 
Marc Heaney (Carn Wheelers) Aaron Swann (NRPT) and Matthew Brennan broke away from the scratch group before Waterfoot. By the time they had climbed Glenariff they had passed everybody and maintained the lead all the way to the finish. This was a superb result for Marc, Aaron and Matthew.
The remaining scratch riders converged with other groups after Glenariff. Johnny Taylor and Ryan Bankhead sprinted at the finish for 4th. This group came in 1 min 32 seconds after the leaders.
