Just wondering if people are interested in organising Orwell groups for this Sportive 9th Sept? There were both Yellow and Orange groups organised for the two longer routes last year. In addition, people might state which choice they are considering for the Torr Head option!
There are route options added to bypass Torr Head going up Easy Street
185km
The Giant Killer offers cyclists the chance to cycle through an area of unsurpassed beauty. This route is not for the faint-hearted but for serious cyclists up for a lung-busting challenge.
NB FOR THOSE CONSIDERING THE LONGER SPIN 185KM ROUTE; THE ORGANISERS CLOSED, TIMED OUT, THE TORR HEAD OPTION LAST YEAR.
137km
The Glens and Coast Route features the breathtaking rugged coastline and the romantic landscape of the glens and is ideal for those use d to 80-100km routes.
56kms
The Causeway Coaster, although still a considerable challenge, is a perfect entry level route for those new to the sportive scene or who are keen to soak up the Causeway Coast’s spectacular scenery. Torr head is not an option on this spin.
Cheers
Leonard
I intend to cycle the 137km spin attempting Torr head again this year.

I've asked The Central Wine Bar in Ballycastle to give me a quote for Friday and Saturday night set menu options.
Who is interested in this?

I have booked dinner for 25 on Friday and Saturday night 08:30 pm. The menu is
attached.
Although not on the attached menu there will be both vegan and vegetarian options.
So far I have 21 for Friday and 26 for Saturday
I will operate a waiting list, and also try to get more places, if there is a demand.
Cheers,
Leonard
