“Cycling is becoming very popular and with the Giro D’Italia coming to Northern Ireland very soon.

“This is as good a time as any to take up this wonderful sport, in the company of friends, for some good exercise, lively chat and of course the coffee stop at the end of the run. We look forward to welcoming many newcomers on April 12th.”
