Lap8 2013 - 25th Aug, Peatlands Park. Entry closes 31st July.

About
Lap The Lough is a not-for-profit Cycle challenge around Lough Neagh, the largest lake in Ireland and Britain. This is Lap 8.
Distance
The route is around 130km, roughly 81 miles in old money. Sounds a lot? There are stops every 35km (25 miles).
Route
We're going anticlockwise this year - left turns all day. We should get round quicker and hopefully increase safety further.
Dungannon
We're delighted to be working with Dungannon & South Tyrone Borough Council on this year's Lap the Lough.
Dates Times
Lap 8 is on the 25th Aug 2013 at Peatlands Park. Sign-on starts at 7am and closes at 8.45am. We leave at 9.00am.
Registration
Early-bird registration opens 1st Feb for £25. The earlier you sign up the cheaper it is. All registration closes 31st July.
Training Plan
Never cycled this kind of distance before? Here's a tried and tested training plan to get you to the finish.
Fundraising
If everyone raised £500, that would equate to £1,000,000 going to good causes. Use LTL to fundraise!
