Little over a week to go now to when our junior riders travel to Co. Clare to line up for this years addition of the Scott Junior Tour. Today’s rider profile is my own young pup, the ‘climbing sensation’, Aaron Dillon.
BIO:
“I joined Comeragh Cycling Club in 2014, the same year I started cycling. I have raced each year since. I am very excited to represent Comeragh CC in the Junior tour. My major achievements are 2nd in the Silver pail GP in 2016, 5th in the Barrow-wheelers GP this Year and 4th in the De Ronde Classic just this Sunday gone. It will be great to have my dad Colm managing one of our two teams also.”
