GREAT TO SEE SO MANY OUT THIS MORNING, A BIG THANKS FOR THE ADVISE AND INSTRUCTIONS ALONG THE WAY, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS TO REMEMBER FOR NEXT WEEK

1 FOOD AND DRINK, AS SONYA SAID MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH OF BOTH TO KEEP YOU GOING FOR THE ENTIRE RUN.
2 REPAIR KITS, TUBES 2NR, PUMP ETC, ALL AVAILABLE FROM BORDER CITY CYCLES, MAIN STREET, CAMLOUGH. AS YOU SEEN TODAY WE HAD A FEW PUNCTURES, SO THANKS AGAIN TO ALL THOSE WHO STOPPED TO HELP.

AGAIN GREAT WORK BY EVERYONE

   Great to see so many out

Great to see so many out this morning. Numbers up on 50. Apologies as we were not as organised this week as we did not expect the numbers. next week we will continue however we will be much better organised. So once again many thanks. As Billy has said above make sure we have all of the above with us. One little tip is to ensure you have breakfast before you go out, if possible 2 hours prior to cycle and try and drink at least a litre of water before the cycle as the body dehydrates over night. Hopefully we will organise a session to illustrate how to change a puncture for those who need help with this.

Keep Riding Strong.

   50k

Well folks just to let u all know at the cycle 2day we covered 50k which is just over 31 miles . Also on the puncture and general bike maintance front we are sponsored by two cycle shops Tommy the bike and Phil at border cycles so between them i will get them to run a bike repair session and also show how to use the co2 cylinders and the quick fix puncture cyclinders for when we are in races and want a quick fix.
