Sunday, August 10, 2014
Ballymena Road Club – Chain Reaction Cycles – rider Eileen Burns added the Ulster ladies 10 miles championship to her 50 and 25 miles crowns when she was fastest in Sunday’s title race at Toomebridge.
It was extremely wet for the race and Eileen’s winning time of 24 minutes 13 seconds was impressive, given the conditions, and was well ahead of silver medallist Keri Parton (Dromara) who clocked 24.52.  
After her win Eileen said "I felt a lot of pressure going into the race having already won the 50 and the 25 Championships. I am really over the moon to get the hat-trick. It was great to see a bigger field of ladies racing today as well. Laura (Blair) rode it too and did 27 minutes 12 seconds.”
Just for good measure Ballymena RC under 16 rider Breandan McCavana was in the medals too. Breandan recorded 25.46 for silver; Rhys McKendry (Madigan) took gold with 25.24.
