Crossed over the border shortly after leaving Castleblayney and never noticed it. Cycled into Crossmaglen by the football field – everything still quiet at this hour of the morning. 
Newry was all at rest and in Banbridge the red-white-blue bunting and decorated archways for July 12 really caught my eye.
Moving up the eastern side of Lough Neagh (but never visible) was effortless with a slight tailwind. 
Lunch in Antrim Town and them westwards and across the bridge at Toome to enter county Derry. 
Really enjoyed the assistance of the wind; made the best of it and saw very little evidence that I was in a different jurisdiction.
