24 November

Around 20 people out , never did get to count them properly. Maybe Tracey counted, she usually does, and Robin can include in his B report. A clear day with little wind , so good cycling weather. Out via Seaforde, then crossing over main road and down to the Dundrum Inner Bay and Maghera where two groups split. A/Q comprising Michael O'S, Marty c, Marty M, Sammy, Niall McK, Gerry, Jimmy WB, Paul, John O'C, Trevor, Adrian and self (hope no one left out this week) went up hill to Bryansford . Paul had a puncture there. Just after it was repaired, Jimmy 2B discovered he had one as well ! Everyone was grumbling about this, but as he finished his repair , I suddenly discovered I had one as well. After much delays, by which time B,s had gone past us, we continued and went up Tullyree Hill to Kilcoo. Was going to go across lanes in a loop past far side of reservoir, but with time passing we went straight back along main road to Hillyard. Sung happy birthday to one of the group ( again will leave that to Robin) and then homeward bound. Only 32 miles on clock but still about 2500 feet of climb and a good dry day out.
