| Start of Stage 20 at Finaghy, Belfast. With Stage 19 being aborted due to the 75mph wind, my mate Keith, his wife Judith and their kids Calin, Mia and Lana kindly let us stay at their house in Finaghy for the evening. Many thanks for your hospitality and the great food (Keith great to see your cooking has improved). |

| Leaving Belfast and at the top of Hannahstown Hill road. One of the steepest climbs on the tour. The view over Belfast was worth it (but the weather doesn't do the photo justice). |
 |
| Further on from Hannahstown Hill I ended up on part of the Ulster Grand Prix circuit, an added unexpected bonus. 15 years or so ago I used to go to the races with my Uncle Jim. Great memories.

| The main towns I passed through on my cycle today. |
 |
| Statue in Coleraine town centre of Bertie Peacock, the co-founder of the N.Ireland Milk Cup International youth football tournament. http://www.nimilkcup.org/ |
 |
| Stage 20 cycle was cut short by 10 miles at Coleraine due to it getting dark, heavy rain and a very energetic Darcy needing some serious play time. |
