About
Lap The Lough is a annual Cycle challenge around Lough Neagh, the largest lake in Ireland and Britain. This is Lap 7
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.
Chain Reaction
Lap the Lough is brought to you in partnership with Chain Reaction Cycles - the worlds largest online bike store.
Dates Times
LTL is on the 26th Aug at Maghery Country Park. Sign-on starts at 7am and closes at 9am. We leave at 9.30am.
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.
