John Murphy R.I.P.

I received the sad news yesterday that John Murphy died while on a cycling trip with Blazing Saddles in Mexico.

John was a member of the Vets and a regular participant in the Leisure League including the Wicklow 200. Along with his friend Victor Young John drove down from Portadown early on Sunday mornings to our Leisure events which he enjoyed very much.

To the many friends that John made with the regular participants in the leisure League this will come as a great shock.

To his family and friends on behalf of the IVCA we extend our sincere sympathy.
Gay Farnan.

This and That
It’s not only Deutsch TV who is giving German cycling a hard time this year. Those who train on the bottom end of the Mornington Peninsula may have noticed a subtle change in John Pritchard’s allegiance over the holiday period. Gone is the ‘Continental’ sticker, replaced by the Italian marque ‘Vittoria’ !!.

Interesting piece of info, courtesy of Tom Hughes and the Irish Vets magazine ‘Chaingang News’, regarding what they have to pay to enjoy their pain on Sunday mornings. Basic membership is 30 euros, which together with an insurance fee of 55 euros and a racing licence cost of 80 euros totals 165 euros. With the current exchange rate of 0.577 euros to the Aussie dollar you’d need to shell out $286 in order to compete - so no complaining at the $130 we charge.

Age is not a barrier. Two Scottish grandmothers are preparing for a 10,00kms charity cycle ride across Canada. Penny Weir, 70, and Mavis Paterson, 69, will set off from Vancouver on 18 May and hope to finish in New Foundland in September. During their ride they will be sleeping in tents! As Ms Paterson said “a lot of people think we’re crazy and maybe we are – but I think everyone needs a goal and this is ours. I don’t think we’re doing anything special. Anyone can do it”
Understandably the committee do not expect to hear any complaints about distance for some of our winter road races.
