Gary McKeegan,
The Ballycarry Rocket
Above, Gary,
finishing in joint first place (with Stevn Lindsay, West Down Whs) in
the 1999 Northern Ireland Hillclimb Champinp, Mourne Mountains.
This young sports science
student had a tremendous season in 1999, he broke all our club time trial
records, and produced the fastest time in Northern Ireland in 1999 in
ten mile time trial's, clocking 20 minutes 10 seconds, which is only eleven
seconds short of Tommy Evans Irish record. He was selected three times in
1999 for the Northern Ireland road team. He finished 19th in the 1999 BCF
Elite 25 mile time trial championship in the Isle of Man. And he won a
host of medals in various Northern Ireland championships in 1999. I think
we have yet to see the best of Gary, and 2000 could well be his best year
to date.
