2010 Cycle Classic going to Bantry

BANTRY is the new destination this year for Carrigaline Lions Club’s 19th Annual Cycle Classic on Saturday October 9th 2010. Past world cycling champion Sean Kelly will also participate for the third time.

One of the nominated charities which Carrigaline Lions Club has supported over the years is Marymount Hospice. Other charities to benefit will be the Jack and Jill Foundation along with Carrigaline Senior Citizens and other local charities.

To date, the Carrigaline Lions Cycle Classic, which has also gone to Killarney, Kenmare, Baltimore and Dungarvan has raised in excess of €550,000.

Last year we had approximately 165 cyclists and this year we also feel that this can be achieved again with the help of local industries such as Pepsico and our many other supporters and sponsors.

The event will commence from the Owenabue car park, Carrigaline, on October 9th. Registration will be at 10.30am and the cyclists will depart at 11am. The route will be from Carrigaline to Innishannon, Bandon, Ennniskeane, Ballineen, Dunmanway, Drimoleague and on to Bantry. There will also a fun cycle of 35 kilometres to Bantry from a point in West Cork.

Refreshments will again be provided en route.

Further information can be obtained by contacting Mark Ginn at 021-4373088. A booking form must be obtained and on completion of this, sponsorship cards will be issued.

The closing date for participating in the charity cycle classic is Friday September 24th. Please note that participants must be over 18.
