Training is going well so far. I've extended my route now to include the Grove Road, Woodtown Road, Cullybackey Road into Cullybackey and on round to Ahoghill, Galgorm Road, Broughshane Road and back to Woodlands. Not quite 20 miles (28.8 km), but managed it in 1 hour 20 minutes. Endurance and not speed is the name of the game. My dad has put the pressure on by reminding me that in his heyday he and his mates would regularly head off on their non-mountain bike, no gears bicycles down to Carnlough, round to Larne, up over Shane's Hill to 'Vogie and home! So I've a wee bit to go yet.
Think I'll leave it a day or two though before tackling the Carnlough/Larne/Broughshane route!
Thanks to those who have donated so far. You've been particularly generous. Ta.
I'll warn you now...the Guardian is having a wee feature on my charity bike ride...buy your copy early; they could sell out!

May I ask exactly when it was that you were or are cycling through Cullybackey, Galgorm, Ballywatermoy and Broughshane in County Antrim?
