The Committee and members of Seven Springs CC are delighted to announce the launch of the third edition of their 40km Open TT in association with Pat Callanan Property Sales. In line with previous years, the event will start just outside the village of Kilrickle with the riders heading east along the old N6 towards Ballinasloe where they turn and head back towards Kilrickle. The course is a regular feature on the club’s TT league and has proved immensely popular; so much so that the last 15km was used as a separate round of this year’s league.
