Charity Cycle

A big thank you to everyone who came out and supported us in our charity cycle in aid of the Irish kidney Association on 29th March 2014. We raised €2354 and because of t he huge success we will make this an annual event.
I want to thank everyone who sponsored us on the day of the cycle, to all the helpers who came out in the morning and all the bikers who came to make sure everyone was safe on the road.
Thanks to people who did lead cars, vans at the rear and to all who let us use their facilities for stop offs.
For all those who didn't cycle this year, we want to see you all out in force on the Bank Holiday in August, when we plan to have another spin and there will be distances to suit everyone, so plenty of time to get those legs moving. Thanks to all again, Baile an Chaisil CC.
