It is with sad regret that we learn of the tragic death of Dave McCall a member of Maryland CC. Dave was a larger than life character who has cycled all his life and won a bronze medal for N.Ireland in the Commonwealth games. More details on his achievements on www.cyclingulster.com. If you haven’t heard the news Dave was killed at a club cycle race last night on the Dunrod (Airport) road. Apparently he was in a group racing when a dog run into the bunch and cyclists moved to the right and Dave being on the outside moved crossed the white line and was fatally hit by a passing car travelling to the airport.
Many of us from the club and members of other local cycling clubs knew him well as the organiser of Sportactive trips to Majorca. He was well liked and will be sadly missed. Sincere sympathy from all of us to his partner and family.
