Touring.

Ballymena Road Club’s touring section cyclists held their first "away for the day” tour on Sunday when Pius McKernan organised a tour of West Tyrone from Mountfield. Twenty two riders took part in the 50 miles tour which took in Killyclougher with magnificent views across the Strule valley. Then it was on through Newtownstewart, Baronscourt, Drumquin, Dromore and back via Omagh. Many thanks to Eamon and Philomena Sweeney for their hospitality and also to Marian McQuillan for the excellent post event catering, this was much appreciated by all the participants.
