    Possible Dates:
    Sept 16 – 18 or Sept 23 – 25 or even Sept 30 – Oct 2. Chances are of drier weather at this time, maybe..??


    Longest Route --238 Km

    • Larne to Ballycastle – 65 Km
    o One of the most scenic routes in Ireland
    • Ballycastle to Benone – 60 Km
    o http://www.discovernorthernireland.com/Benone-Strand-Limavady-P2919
    • Benone to Larne – 113 Km back through Ballycastle

    • Cushendall to Portrush – 54 Km
    • Portrush to Larne – 93 Km

    Trip will involve travelling up on the Thursday evening and returning Dublin on Sunday so prob just 1 day off work required.
    If anyone is interested in a this cycle, in what I understand is spectacular scenery (see Bob Montgomery’s Great Drives) with few beers in the evening let me know.

    Ah Jasus, that rules out that weekend so, as I presume roads will be closed off for the likes of me!

    You'll be fine, sportifs are charity events where people go at their own pace, they raise money for charity and usually have food stops so could be the perfect day. throw in a few quid and your lunch is sorted and you'll meet loads of new people. Go for it!
