Day 4 Sligo to Donegal Town 68km

Virtual Cycle Against Suicide 2020 Day 4

Sligo to Donegal Town 68km

Good morning everyone! I hope you all slept well in you're luxury homestay The Sligo Park Hotel.

Didn't they look after us very well? Dinner last night, chocolates on the pillows, spare bed for your bike, brekkie with newspapers this morning.

I think we should make this a regular feature! What about that Caroline?

Today we are off to Donegal. 68 km of nothing but hills. Should be an easy day. The hills will turn instantly to downhill if shout out loud "TWO BY TWO AND STAY INSIDE THE WHITE LINE". I promise you!

The first Sos Beag is Henry's Bar in Cashelgarren lonely after 11km and Pete will be there with bananas all over the place.

Lunch is at Magh Ene College Bundoran. as always a 1km mountain climb up to there! But you'll be fine cause the food will be magnificent.

we will finish at Abbey Vocational College Donegal.

Going off Virtual for a minute. Donegal has a special place in there hearts of everyone who ever donned the Orange. Donegal is the place where Brenaun lost his life while Moto Marshalling for us.

It was a cold wet miserable morning when we headed out for Letterkenny. Brenaun was doing what all our wonderful motorbike marshals do. Checking and blocking side roads and roundabouts for the peleton,so we are safe. Today and everyday we remember him. Our homestay hosts took us all back in for a second night after administering to us in our misery when we returned , unable to continue. Donegal will always be in our hearts.

Good luck and be safe

Fun stuff first before we go!

Its James Vahey's birthday today!! Think he has only one more birthday before the pension! That right James? ;-D

Everybody sing happy birthday to James.
