Fun Tour Two.                                                                                                                         Conditions were very wet for the start of Saturday’s "Fun Tour” from Rex Bonar house but nevertheless there was still a turnout of 43 cyclists and they donated another £85 to the Chernobyl Children’s appeal NI charity fund which already stands at £480.
The touring section ride took in Galgorm, Russelstown,  Lisnahunshin to Rasharkin then on to Finvoy and right on to Mullan Road.
Next it was Aghill road Carclinty and Cullybackey where they visited Arthur Cottage and sampled the home baked soda bread. Saturday was "European Heritage” open day at the cottage. 
Club Chairman John Maxwell’s 11 rider group went to Randalstown, Antrim, Templepatrick, Parkgate, Holybank Road, Connor, Kells and Liminary Road back to Ballymena.
This was a total of 40 miles at 16-9mph average. 
Martin Ruddy’s group completed a 38 miles ride at 18mph, which took in Magheralane, Randalstown, Staffordstown, Toome, Bellaghy, Portglenone, Hiltonstown, Ballyconnolly and Galgorm.
