After a 2 year delay due to Covid restrictions the St Magnus Way Cycle Route has been launched today. Seventeen members of the Orkney Cycle Club met outside St Magnus Cathedral at 9 am, were presented with a pilgrim’s shell and then set off in two groups. With the wind behind them while cycling north they made good time for the refreshment break at The St Magnus Church in Birsay. A fine spread provided by members of the Magnus Church Trust and others sped them on their way back to the cathedral. The 67 mile route can be split into two shorter routes for those less fit. Full details are on the Cycle Route tab on the home page of www.stmagnusway.com.
