Tour of the Glens

Sunday, May 6th 2007, Belfast City Hall @ 8:00am 

This Sunday the famous Tour of the Glens ride takes place.  A 200km ride through the Glens of Antrim this is enough to test any cyclist of any ability with it’s course of rolling roads and some steap climbs.  It will follow it’s traditional route for the 6th year, starting at Belfast City Hall at 8am.  It’s one of the first major touring events of the 2007 season and with quite a number coming up over the next couple of months this one is ideal for those looking a serious challenge.  It’s fair to say that if you get round this you’ll get round any of the others.
