From October to the end of March, Dromara Cycling
Club riders (and guests) meet for a spin down the Lagan Towpath from Lisburn
to Belfast every Thursday evening. The cycle incorporates both on
and off road trails and is most suitable to MTB style bicycles. Riders
meet in the car park at Lisburn's Civic Centre (map) at 6:50 pm for 'push off' at
7 pm sharp. The cycle normally lasts from 2 to 2.5 hours depending on
the route taken and weather conditions. This is excellent training for
those wanting to keep up their fitness over the winter and for those who are
getting ready for the new competitive cycling season ahead.
Essential Equipment
- Lights - Front and Rear.
It is best to have the rechargeable front lights with a battery that will
last at least 2.5 hours. As it can be very dark along the path, your
front lights should allow you 'to see' rather than just allow you
to 'be seen'.
- At least 2 tubes and tyre levers
- Winter clothing
Recommended items would include Winter MTB shoes, skull cap, winter gloves
(waterproof &/or windproof) and winter jacket.
