Ballymena Road Club’s racing team are off to Donegal this weekend for the eagerly awaited Ras Dhun na nGall three-day stage race which will take place in Ardara, Co. Donegal on Friday 30th May, Saturday 31st May and Sunday 1st June. The race is open to A2 and A3 riders while full race details are available on the website  www.fourmasterscycling. 

The route will be identical to last year. The mountain time trial returns again, and the final stage will finish on top of Glengesh.

The racing is guaranteed to be hard and fast on the physically very challenging Donegal roads and there will also be an abundance of spectacular scenery. The race field is limited to 180 places! 

One of the BRC team members is Hall Booth and he commented. "The race comprises, four stages; a 32 mile Friday evening stage; 2.5 mile hilly TT on Saturday morning followed by a 50 mile road stage in the afternoon. Sunday is a 60 mile road stage finishing on Glengesh. All stages are, in keeping with the Donegal terrain, very hilly.”

The BRC team is Matthew Brennan, Clifford Grant, Simon Taggart, Ryan Shaw, Hall Booth and David Dougan. The team manager is Andy Wills and mechanic Derek Dougan.
