INTRODUCTION

The Foyle 3-Day Cycle Race being held in the North West of Ireland will see riders battle for victory from Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th August 2018. All stages of the Foyle 3-Day will be held under Cycling Ireland Rules.

This year’s race will see top riders and Teams from all over Ireland, GB, and beyond racing over three road stages for inal overall glory and a host of other categories. The race route will take riders from Derry into the magniicent scenery of the Sperrins, Donegal and Tyrone.

Stage 1. Friday evenings stage is an undulating 88kms with 841meters of climbing. Starting at the Foyle Arena, Derry, this stage takes riders through Newbuildings, Donemana and onto the irst climb of the race, a Cat 3 16.7km into the stage. Its then onto Claudy, Park, Feeny, Dungiven, and eventually onto the next Cat 2 Ballyhadedin Rd climb at 59.9 kms. The race proceeds onto the Carnamuff Rd before a rapid descent with picturesque views of Lough Foyle and a left turn onto the main A2 Derry Rd heading up towards the lat inish at Campsie Industrial Estate where the irst stage winner and overall leaders of the race will be decided.

Stage 2. Saturday mornings stage is 141.1kms with 1716 meters of climbing. Again the Foyle Arena in Derry is the starting point for this tough hard stage, which will inish back in the scenic Culmore Point on the outskirts of the City. The 151kms of tough roads will take in some famous climbs including the iconic Mamore Gap and this may well decide the inal overall victor. The route will take the riders out of Derry across into Donegal through Muff and on towards Moville. The riders will then head for the villages of Gleneely and Culdaff, Malin Town before tackling the second climb, Black Mountain a Cat 1 at 60.9kms. The race then descends to Malin head and further down to the Five Finger Strand, the riders wont have time to take in the stunning views as they speed on towards Carndonagh, Ballylifin, Clonmany and the famous jaw dropping incline of Mamore Gap. “The Gap” a Cat 1 climb of 1.7km at 104.9 kms into the stage could provide a launchpad for any eventual stage winner, but with tough roads taking the riders down into Buncrana and onto the last climb of the day a Cat 2 up Grainne’s Gap, any breakaway riders will need to be on form to stay away. After Grainne’s Gap there is a very sharp descent with a hidden junction the riders must take a right turn at to descend down to Burnfoot and a quick left towards Muff and back across the border onto a lat inal 3km to the inish at Culmore Point.

Stage 3. Sundays 140km stage with 1580 metres of climbing will be no walk in the park either. The Neutralised roll out from Foyle Arena will take the riders through the city centre, before crossing the Foyle Bridge for the oficial start. The route heads irst for Greysteel, Eglinton, Tamnaherin Rd, Burntollet Bridge and into the irst climb, Ballyartan Rd a Cat 2 at 36.1 into the stage. The riders then descend to Donemana before tackling a Cat 3 climb at 47.6km, on then to Plumbridge and up the Category 1 “TV mast” climb at 70kms. A sharp descent dropping down into Strabane Town, leads the riders onto a short loop including Victoria bridge, Clady and back into Strabane. The route then takes the riders up to Artigarvan, Donemana again and back towards Derry on the Trench Road. The riders will then tackle 3/4 of next years Irish National Championships circuit before coming into the short but steep kick to the inish line on Church Brae. With some last minute KOM points available on the Cat 3 climb to the inish line, could the KOH jersey or even the overall win be won or lost in the inal sprint for the line?
