Join our club charity cycle event – 4 September 2022

Our annual club charity event takes place on Sunday September 4 in aid of this year’s chosen charity, Irish Motor Neurone Disease.

All standards of cyclists will be accommodated with four distances of 50km, 100km, 150km and a challenging 200km all departing Sandymount to beautiful Wicklow.

Groups of approximately 10 will depart at staggered times to return to the village at approximate similar times for a social event with every participant receiving a special momento to mark the event.

We will be asking everyone to contribute €20, or more if so desired, with 100% of funds going to our preferred charity – further details to follow.

Thank you if you are one of the many who have already signed up for our charity cycle on the weekly spins sheet.
