    And a few others in their regular cycling gear.

    Any one see them heading around Lough Gill and through town today. Must say, it made a change from the usual Sunday Morning spin.

    yeah it was the innisfree wheels who are a sligo cycling club. was chatting to some of them yesterday they were doing a charity cycle in johnsons court on stationary bikes. they do a lap round the lake then take on some refreshments. what a great idea to help promote the sport and the club and it adds great colour to the town. saw a few of them with christmas lights on the bike and everything. brilliant! fair play to them.

    Lol. I was actually one of them.

    :D

    Was alot of fun, regrouped in Drumoaire, and again on the Pearse Rd, for a slow convoy through town, down Castle and O'Connell St, finishing at the back of Connollys Pub.

    Cant remember the figure but think it was around 3k between today, and collections in the Johnstons Court yesterday.

    Although, considering only a few Sundays till Xmas, there was very few in the town when we were passing through.
