10th November

With weather looking ok at weekend but obviously beginning to approach winter, I am going to suggest doing the last new route of season and after that keep to the wider and better surfaced roads. Its the Maze race course via Hillsborough and 50 miles Brennans to Brennans and all I can say is that at least the race course bit is fairly flat. Great views over to Lisburn and Belfast. Coffee at golf course club situated in middle of track. Very relaxed and friendly with our own room and tables laid out in advance. Michael O's and Dermot have done route with me and can help with shepherding and would suggest that when we reach Hillsborough on way back we split with them taking the A,s while I lead B,s at more leisurely pace back to base.
