LOONEYS OF RAMSEY SPRINT DUATHLON
Well done to Gianni and Eve for their wins tonight! It was an exciting event made even more enjoyable with the spectacular backdrop of North Ramsey Bay and North Barrule.  The lovely sunny evening was capped off with tea and cake served at the world famous Ramsey Rugby Club. It was great to see so many newcomers and in particular the youngsters trying their hand at a multi sport.

Russell (third), Gianni (first) and Gav (second)

Second male and female places went to Gav and Gill who also won first male Vet and first female Vet prizes. Third male and female places went to Russell and Ali. Jonathon Cregeen won the junior race, followed closely by Warwick Sanderson and Sam Brand. A great effort from Sam Sherry on his mountain bike. 

A big thank you to all the marshals who turned out to help, you were fantastic.  Thank you especially to Kevin for time-keeping, Shane for draft-busting and Ian for refereeing. A special thanks for Looneys of Ramsey for sponsoring the event and Adrian Gell for presenting the medals. Thank you to all the committee for the great team effort that went on behind the scenes.

Winning lady - Eve

SIX BAY CHALLENGE

Martin Malone (MTC member and Chairman of the Commonwealth Games Association Appeals Committee) is raising funds for the IOM team at the Youth Commonwealth Games in Pune (India) in October.  Martin has planned a rather crazy challenge to raise money that should attract the attention of the media!  The aim is to raise £10k by getting local companies to sponsor each leg of the challenge including other sponsorship raised prior to the day.  If there is anyone else of the same nutter status interested in doing an extreme brick session on the 2 or 3 August, or if anyone fancies doing just one leg, please contact Martin on  495220. 

The challenge is as follows:
bullet

Start at the Sea Terminal at 6am and cycle to Castletown
bullet Swim from Langness into Castletown Harbour
bullet Run from Castletown to Gansey
bullet Swim across Gansey to Port St Mary
bullet Run to Port Erin
bullet Swim across Port Erin Bay (right to left)
bullet Cycle to Peel over the Sloc (probably the toughest leg)
bullet Swim across Peel Bay (right to left)
