Both routes head for Ballymoney and onwards for Portrush where we turn right along the coast through Bushmills and stopping at the Marina in Ballycastle for a water/nature stop. There the groups part. the shorter route (60 miles) comes home via Glenshesk, Loughgiel and Cloughmills before crossing over the new bridge at Logans and heading for Dunloy via Killagan Cross.
The longer route (75 miles) heads from Ballycastle to Loughareema and some fairly demanding climbing over Ballypatrick before descending to Cushendall and Waterfoot. A tight climb takes us via Glenariff to Martinstown and a turn inland over Tullykittagh to Cloughmills and the same run home.
You will definately enjoy the hot shower and and warm welcome afterwards. These two routes will test any competitor, the climbs and distance will let you see exactly where you stand for the 2018 season.
