The forecast in the week building up to the ToS wasn’t encouraging and entries were about 50% down on previous years. In the end just over 40 riders signed on this morning, and the weather did not disappoint! It started wet with a 20mph+ headwind. There was a brief lull in the rain at about 11am, but it was hard to tell in the spray from the wheels, and by 11:15am the rain was setting in for the afternoon. Epic!
Congratulations to all those who finished – hopefully you’re now starting to dry out, and feeling the warm glow of achievement. The story value will grow in the coming weeks and months – you completed the legendary ToS 2025 🙂
Many thanks to everyone who help make the event possible, including sign-on, catering, route markers, and broom wagon. We were raising money for Almost Home Animal Rescue NI this year – more details on the total raised will follow later.
