Wicklow Mountains Cycle Challenge 20 May 2017
On Saturday the 20th of May, we will once again be taking to the saddle for the 2017 Wicklow Mountains Cycle Challenge.
Following on from the success of last years’ event, the cycle will start and finish in the stunning grounds of Russborough House, Co. Wicklow and you will have 2 routes to choose from.
50km – The shorter of the 2 routes, the 50km route brings cyclists on a beautiful tour of Blessington Lakes before returning back to Russborough House.
100km – This is a much more challenging route and takes cyclists up some of the best climbs in the Garden County including, Sally Gap, Shay Elliott & Slieve Maan. You will certainly deserve your burger at the end of it!
Whether you choose the 50km or the 100km, you can be assured that you will enjoy some of the most picturesque countryside that Wicklow has to offer.
Early Bird registration costs €45 and is available until 30th of April. Registration from 1st of May costs €50. All participants receive a souvenir event jersey and access to the post event BBQ.
