Just turn up this Sunday 26th May 2019 to the Community centre in New Inn to depart at 9:30 am for The Rothar Club 6th Annual Fun cycle event (100 km).

Our friends in The Rothar Club have been very busy over the last 6 weeks by holding spinning/cycling on the spot fundraisers in 3 different locations.

Now they are getting ready for their Annually run fun cycle event (100 km).

Registration is done on the Day so you just arrive and Cycle!

More Details:
Copy of Route attached
Registration is quick . An hour before would be plenty to register and get Bike off the car - 8.30ish.
There will be tea/coffee , scones and a chat before the race if anyone feeling peckish.
There is a Food stop at Shannon Bridge (35Kkm) and then another at Eyrecourt (62km). Most cyclists will then wait at Cappataggle (89km) for everyone to gather so we can have a Grande return back into New Inn. The pace is very manageable and no one gets left behind. Anyone struggling is welcome to sit into sweeper van for a few miles ( we won't tell ! ! )
Plenty of parking available at the hall. The BBQ takes place at the hall and will start about 14:30-15:00. We usually call ahead so they can get it started. Entry Fee is €30 + €5 insurance for non members of cycling Ireland. All Food included in entry fee.

A Big Thank You To Everyone In The Rothar Club ... See MoreSee Less
