Jaysus lads, a bit of patience - we're not going 'til Sunday
I had a lovely route done which included the Tandragee & Dundrod circuits and the North Coast road but it ran to over 600km for Dublin participants & this was deemed a bit much for the majority
So, here's the plan :
Meet at the Texaco station on the N1 north of the airport. (Marc, that's the one on the left when you're heading north, just before Airside Retail Park
)
Departing from there at
09.00 we'll be using the old N1 / R132 to get us northward. We'll join the main road north of Dundalk on our way to Loughbrickland where we'll be stopping in Aidans (N54 18 59.0 W6 18 16.8) where 'Mrs.Doyle' will be dispensing mugs of tay to participants
Departing from there at
11.15 & stopping briefly at Texaco Ballinderry on the Moira Road (N54 32 34.6 W6 12 05.8) to pick up anyone there. Should be there about
11.45. And then onwards to the roundabout on the A26 over the M2, just north of Antrim (N54 44 38.8 W6 14 09.1) for another pick-up at about
12.15. We won't be stopping so if you're meeting us here just tag onto the end. From here we'll meander on back roads to Ballycastle.
Lunch is at Mortons chippy on Bayview Road in Ballycastle (N55 12 25.5 W6 14 25.9) at
13.30 / 14.00
Afterwards we'll head to Joeys memorial & then the Photo Rally point at Orritor near Cookstown before hightailing it south to Dublin, hoping to hit the M50 by
20.00.
We'll be using the
'drop off' system to ensure everyone gets to lunch & home again although everyone attends at their own risk
cant wait
