We have nice wee route planned starting and finishing in Newry and taking in a lunch stop in Newcastle. We hope to get quite a few non-members along and hopefully get them involved and with the East Coast run the next month maybe persuade a few to travel down.

I guess all we want to know now is if anyone is interested in joining us and if so stick your name down.

Dated decided on 29th August which is a Sunday - we need to be definite as the Parades Commission must be notified!

proposed route:

Starting @ McDonalds / B&Q @ 11:30 leave at 12:00
We would have a break in Rathfriland for the best ice cream in Ireland
Lunch in Newcastle http://www.mourneseafood.com/page/16/mourne-cafe/
On the way back stop at Spelga to let the kids (big and small) try the magnetic hill!
Back to Newry to finish

length of route @ 65miles @ 2 1/2 hours plus an 1 1/2 for stops and lunch will have us back in Newry 4 or 4:30.
might be a little short but we can easily add a little more into it
1st time trying to organise something like this so any feedback (good or bad) would be much appreciated
