“Drumquin is on the final countdown to its’ two day “Trip To Tory” cycle event. Many of the riders had not “graced” a bike for many years. The progress they have made since the first run in January is amazing with over 800 miles clocked up.
With the fundraising target reached all further donations received in the final week will be going directly to the nominated charities.
The riders and organisers have put a tremendous effort into raising funds and preparing. With the completion of the last of the gruelling 2x50mile training runs on Saturday and Sunday. “The Hills Above Drumquin” have been tamed leaving only “The hills of Donegal” left to conquer. The cyclists will be leaving at 7:30am on Sat the 5th to return on Sunday at 6pm for the home coming party. Enda the chairman of the cycle subcommittee and John the club’s chairman thanked the team leaders, cyclists and their families, helpers for their commitment, support and enthusiasm.

Following a humorous review of the leadership, organisational, qualities the teams were called forward to receive their Jerseys from Oonagh McGirr representing the events main sponsor Sallys Of Omagh bar and nightclub.
