Giro de Baile

The Giro de Baile cycling event takes place on Sunday 6th August 2017 at 10am from Ballycastle Village .

The Giro de Baile routes take in the towns of Ballycastle, Lacken, Killala, Crossmolina, Moygownagh, Bellacorick, Bangor , Barnatra, Pullathomas, Cornboy, Porturlin, Belderrig and its purpose is to show off beautiful North Mayo. 

Please be patient with cyclists - they are vulnerable road users and appreciate your being mindful of their safety. They may look confident, but underneath all that lycra, there's a good chance they may be at least a little nervous, particularly if there is heavy traffic, and at busy intersections.

Expect bikes on all roads and at all intersections and roundabouts in North Mayo from 10am to 6pm on Sunday 6th. We thank you for your cooperation and we hope you have a safe and enjoyable Bank Holiday weekend.

 

Anyone interested in helping out on the day of the Giro de Baile with a bit of stewarding, food prep, pre race set up and demobilisation please feel free to join us.

It is all for a good cause and is an enjoyable way to spend your free time organising a worthwhile event with the community and a great bunch of people. Please contact Mairtín 086-3225128 if you can spare a few hours on the day. 

We would also like to inform people of a little disturbance around the hall and village on the 6th August and we appreciate your patience in this matter.

 

Family Cycle will take place on Saturday 5th August at 6.00p.m.
