Copeland Charity Cycle

Such a wonderful sight to see a group of similarly dressed cyclists hasting their way along the road, in a strict side-by-side formation.

This was the spectacle available to anyone who saw the 30ish Carn Wheelers as we made our way from Maghera up to Cookstown for the, now annual, Copeland charity event.   Once there, we treated ourselves to a wee cup ave tay, and some sugar based energy substances – just in case.

Due to time restrictions, etc,  some folks weren’t able to actually do the charity cycle run itself.   Those that did undertake the run were treated to a grand run around the roads of Stewardstown, Coalisland, Arboe, Coagh, and (the perfect wee finish) a pull up to Orritor and back to base in Cookstown,  where a lovely tea with sandwiches and buns and pastries awaited us.  So good was the fare that Tommy Evans had to be pulled off a large cake so that we all could get on our way back to Maghera  (as an old neighbour of ours used to say  "You’re better to eat an extra slice cause you never know when you’ll get your next bite”).

Thanks to Copeland for arranging this event for a very worthy cause, in aid of Steps.

Well done to all.
