Various racing personalities will join us along the way – it will be good fun
All in aid of Cancer Trials Ireland (Cancertrials.ie).
The inspiration for this cycle is Pat Smullen, 9 times Irish Champion jockey, and Olive Lynch, who both lost their lives due to pancreatic cancer.
Pat was such a fantastic ambassador for Irish Racing. He raised so much money for Cancer Trials
Ireland that it only seems right to make a small effort to raise some more money for such an amazing cause.
All participants must wear a cycling helmet
There will be a bus for people and a truck for bikes that will return to Naas racecourse, Fairyhouse & Laytown (will leave The Curragh at about 5.30pm).
