Tour of Inishowen
| This will be the second year for The Tour of Inishowen organised by the Northpole Cycle Club The 150k.tour starts in the seaside town of Buncrana on the shores of Lough Swilly.It crosses the Inishowen Peninsula in an easterly direction reaching Lough Foyle after a 20k trip crossing the Illies Hills and taking in a category 2 climb past the Fullerton Pollan Dam. From there the route goes north along the shores of the lough on a relatively flat course through Moville,reaching Greencastle after another 20k.Turning west there looms another cat2 climb over Cooks Hill to Kinnagoe Bay and onwards for a welcome lunch-stop at Culdaff Town Hall.From here the direction is north westerly taking the road to Malin Head,Ireland's most northerly point.As we head south there will be a few more gear-crunching moments before we reach level ground at Lagg.A relatively flat course then takes us through Malin Town,Carndonagh,Ballyliffin and Clonmany.Moving westwards again we will then reach the foot of the Urris Hills and the famousCategory 1 Mamore Gap.This will then be crossed through a serious of hair-pin bends.Rumour has it that Sean Kelly had one of his early successes as a teenager crossing the Gap in the 1975 Ras with a 42/18 as his lowest gear! From the summit it will be a relatively easy 16k.cycle to the finish at The Inishowen Gateway Hotel who are major sponsors of this event together with Inishowen based North Pole Cycling Club.The cycle is being held in aid of M.S.Ireland which helps sufferers of multiple sclerosis.
