On the way back from the Giants Causeway Sportive in Northern Island, van packed awaiting ferry. Very challenging weather on the Saturday morning with rain and wind, but over 800 hundred riders went out. The routes (3 of them) are all challenging with rolling roads and long climbs, the payback are the views, the valleys and the coast are very spectacular, no wonder the event last year was voted in the top 10 cycling events in the world. The people are very hospitable and helpful providing plenty of volunteers who helped make the food stops work, marshal and the schools who provided premises were excellent. Chain Reaction Cycles provided mechanical support, spares and race mechanics to keep riders on the road. Next year this will be a sellout, book early to enjoy this fantastic event and see the sights of Northern Island, I now know why this is one of the top events.
