Sunday Cycle  16^th May 2014

Another wet Sunday, another wet Sunday cycle.

But the crack was good as the 10 cyclists left the rec car park as usual at 8am.

Our route was -- starting in Maghera , we headed to Draperstown via Tobermore.  Then, a wee lung opener as we ascended the Cahore Road.  Then descended down the Drumard Road and continue through Desertmartin and on towards Moneymore.  Then up to the top of Slieve Gallion and then down again, heading for Inishcarn and then up Cullion.   Down the Lough Fea road to Shippy’s,  then onto Moneyneeney and then onto Dungiven via the Burren.   In Dungiven, head out the Garvagh Road and onto the Legavallon Road.  Right hand turn onto Temple Road.  Up the hill and then down into the Glen.  Up the Legavallon Road and then down the Plantation Road. Over to the Curraghmore Road and up Matties.  Down Drumbane Road as far as the Halfgain Road, and then (our final climb) up the Laganes Braes.  Down the Gortinure Road for an easy spin of the legs for the last couple of miles back to Maghera.

A total of 78 miles and over 6300 feet of climbing for those who completed the circuit in full.  Good training indeed.

Well done to all.
