Competitiors will proceed and cycle to the Ballycastle roundabout (5.2 miles approx), where they will take the 3rd exit to take a U turn and proceed to travel back towards Ballymena.
Finish is on the slip way for Clough/Glarryford (see photo) approximately 4.8 miles from the turn.
Following completion of the course competitors will turn right and travel across the fly over towards Glaryford.
