A club spokesman said: “This will be a big day for the club with over 200 cyclists taking part in the various races. We hope to have a tough days racing for the cyclists and some good viewing for the spectators. The racing will last just over two hours but should cause minimal disruption along the course. We are delighted to have Pappy’s Bakey in Dunloy and also CDE Global sponsor the races. With good prize money on offer I have no doubt the racing will be very competitive.”
