13 lost souls turned up for the first run of the new year. ...Trevor,Shane ,Gerry Dylan Joe Dermot Sam Alan Niall Mc K Colum Barney Ardglass John and myself. We set off from Brennans just as it was starting to rain and the winds strengthen heading across to Annacloy ,kilmore Crossgar and up and down the rolly road to Killyleagh .The weather wasnt too bad at this stage but by the time we got to Darragh Cross the rain was starting to come up the hills . With heavy winds and well soaked by this stage we headed across Glasswater only for Niall McKeowns chain to brake and as you would expect there was only one man with a chain breaker ..our Joe . As we all hid in the bus shelter waiting for the boat to pick us up Dermort repaired Nialls chain.. I think...as Dylan Colum John and Myself abandoned ship and went on in the main Downpatrick Crossgar road.Tough cycling day out but as usual strangely enjoyable.35 miles for me.
