Today, we're three quarters way through a 45 miles mountain bike ride as the River Bann flows through Ballydown towards Banbridge.
The River Bann is the longest river in Ulster at 99 miles long and consists of the Upper and Lower Bann.
This section at Banbridge forms part of the Upper Bann, starting high in the Mourne Mountains at Slieve Muck (Pig Mountain) and flowing into Lough Neagh and, although this area is mostly inhabited with the wily brown trout, the Upper Bann is today one of the most popular coarse fishing waterways in Europe with pike, perch, bream and roach in abundance.
Now then, enough of this rabbiting on (Easter theme thrown in there) and back to the bike...........
