French Cyclists are hosted in Sligo by our members:

 A group of French cyclists from Sligo's French twin town, Crozon visited Sligo recently. This was the culmination of a nationwide tour which took the cyclists to Cork, Kerry, Clare, Galway, Mayo, Sligo and finally Donegal.

The cyclists met with our Thursday training group and were taken on a circuit of Lough Gill. The rest-stop was for coffee and fruit scones in The Abbey Manor Hotel in Dromahair. From here they went to Parkes Castle - which would probably fit in the turret of most French Castles!! Anyway from there they went to view the beautiful Colgagh Lough.

They then returned to Sligo Town and were very impressed with the spin along the lake at Doorly Park. From here they took an uphill ride to The Holy Well before returning to Carraroe.

Later in the evening they enjoyed a dinner hosted by the Sligo town twinning committee, before heading for the pub to round off the day with a good session of traditional music. Thanks must go to our member Brendan Brogan who organised the Sligo tour and entertainment.

Pictured above are the French cyclists visiting The Holy Well with Brendan, Eddie, Pam, Rosie and Allen. More pictures of the tour can be found here.
