Prosponed for one hour due to the icy road conditions the group off app 50 riders left the Termon centre and headed for Kilmacrennan and then on to Milford. Most of the group held together until just before Milford but after this the faster men in the group heated up the pace and left us mere mortals chewing on their grit from the roads. The run took us on into Carrigart and then on to Cresslough before turning left and heading back for Termon. Well done to Four Masters CC new comer Pauric Mc Clafferty from Termon who was first over the line on home turf. He will be one to watch for the future. All in all this was a very enjoyable run, well organised and extremely well marshalled. There was plenty of grub provided in the Lagoon Termon after the run which went down a treat. On a personal note thanks to weegee who helped me around this short but tough course.
Termon 24th JanuaryThere is a charity cycling taking place this Sunday 24th January in Termon just outside Kilmacrennan. The run starts in Termon at 10am. Leaving Termon the run goes to Kilmacrennan, turning left for Milford, then on to Cranford and Carrigart, and then to Cresslough. Out of Cresslough the run climbs the drag at the glen and back to Termon. At 50km this would be a nice training run for the Club and as many members as possible as asked to come along and cycle as a club. Anyone that needs a lift from Letterkenny can meet at the Aura leisure centre at 9am ready to leave at 9.15am. Liam will be taking the van for bikes and Gary will give give anyone a lift. Hopefully we will also have the club car available for backup.
