Skerries 100 this weekend

P_1

Its that time of the year again and there will be road closures in effect in the area around Skerries this weekend including the main Skerries-Lusk road.

Of course the main event of the weekend is the bikers gig/session. Is this still on by Manowar pub or is there any truth to the rumors that it has been moved out by Bog O The Ring?

I heard it's out in Ring Commons Sport Center alright.

I wonder did the MOR price itself out of the market, I heard a lot of people comment on the price of an event they had their last weekend.

The racing was mega - my 28th Skerries to date (I likes me road racing ), headed through Skerries last night on the way to The Yacht and Skerries seemed dead as a dodo. Massive craic at the 2 Strokers Gig in The Yacht - great support from the local riders and Micky Dunlop who won three good races. Local 125 rider Ciaran Donnelly's band 'Equipped' rocked the joint!

On a sour note I heard their were a couple of bikes stroked during the racing

Get well soon to the two riders who had incidents - Denis Gallagher and James McCann
