What was everyone up to this weekend?
I was staying in Ballycastle and on the Sat. we went over to rathlin to do some walking - fantastic weather, and surprisingly there was a very well supported 10K run in progress when we arrived. On Sunday I decided to cycle home Ballycastle to Annahilt via the coast road, again great weather and for the coastal part of the journey i had the wind in my favour. To avoid Larne I headed inland at Ballygalley but unfortunatley i made a wrong turn and after going over a few unscheduled hills I still ended up in Larne! took back roads from Larne to Ballyclare, Glengormley,, belfast & home. and of course just when you are most fatigued the breeze changed to a w/sw. A thoroughly enjoyable cycle, although the last hour was a struggle, I made it 80 miles by my speedo, although I do not know how accurate it is.

...... the Inishowen was very disappointing. I don't think they put as much effort into organising the event as we did organising the Mourne Sportive.
