The 2014 Four Masters Poison Glen Tour is set to take to the roads of Donegal on Sunday30th March . The 78 mile course will take the same route as last year with a feed station at An Churt Hotel in Dunlewy. There will also be a shorter 60 mile route available that cuts out the Muckish Gap climb.

Cycling trough Glenveagh National Park and the Poison Glen this is a must do tour for all cyclists who appreciate the scenic beauty that Donegal has to offer or those who just enjoy a challenging cycle.

Similar to last year this event will be leaving Aura Leisure Centre in Letterkenny and travel through Kilmacrennan via Trentagh. We will then turn left in Termon through the magnificent Glenveagh National Park before turning right to tackle the first climb of the day, the Muckish gap. Once over Muckish its down into Falcarragh and on to Gorkahork and Dunlewy before a feed stop at An Chuirt Hotel in Dunlewy.

After a 15 min stop here we set of to tackle the toughest climb of the day, The Poison Glen. After you summit the Poison Glen you have a fast descent down into Glenveagh once again and then back towards Letterkenny via Gartan.

This is a fun day for everyone and not a race. Sign on will open from 9.00am and we will leave at 10.00am.

Showers and refreshments will be available afterwards in the Aura Leisure Centre in Letterkenny.
