Ballymena Road Club’s event this week in the Northstone sponsored club race series is the Star Trophy road race which, unusually, takes place on Saturday morning 7th July. This is the first time I have known a scheduled club race to take place on a Saturday so hopefully the experiment works out favourably.
The race will start on the Carnlough road in Broughshane and proceed to Carnlough, Garron Tower, Waterfoot, Glenariff glen, Martinstown, Rathkenny and finish on the Ballygarvey road approach to Broughshane some 40 miles later. The chief marshall is Andrew Wills and he will be assisted by Nigel Kernohan, Quinton McFall and any others who can make themselves available, as a couple of the marshalls on Andy’s list are unavailable through injury or illness.
