Cyclists needed to enter Leinster Loop event in south Kildare
The 9th annual Leinster Loop cycle event takes place on Saturday, 30th June.
Registration opens at 4pm in St. Laurence’s Community Complex.
The 25km Local Loop then starts out at 5pm and the 12km Roche Ramble event follows at 5.30pm.
Along the way cyclists will be treated to a short drama production, enacted by young members of Griese Youth Theatre - written by Jacob Tallon and Daniel McGinley – both previous members of Griese Youth Theatre.
This original piece showcases some of the important historical figures with links to the village of Ballitore.
There will be a water stop provided by Crookstown Filling Station – this will be in the Crookstown Business Park, and will allow a chance to take a break & have some refreshments.
On returning to St. Laurence’s Community Complex cyclists will be treated to a BBQ and an ice-cream, with plenty of space to stretch out the legs and recover.
This is sure to be a fun evening for the young and not-so-young cyclist.
You’ll be taking part in Ireland’s Premier Cycling Sportive – helping raise funds for our two charities: Breast Cancer Research and St. Laurence’s Community Complex.
To date the Leinster Loop has raised over €257,000 - this is testament to the great community spirit of volunteers, sponsors and cyclists.
The organisers said:
We’re delighted to have the support once again of our main sponsor Version1, a very successful IT Services Company based in Dublin. The event is also supported by several local businesses – helping to make this the great community event that it has become. Our Saturday evening event gives some of our hundreds of Sunday volunteers to get out on their bike & experience being part of the Leinster Loop from the other side.
On Sunday 1st July we expect to have in excess of 1,300 cyclists taking part in our 55km, 100km & 145km events – so please watch out for them on the roads if you’re driving, and give them a cheer or a clap to encourage them as they pass by when you’re out & about!
The safety of our cyclists is paramount – so please make sure to wear a helmet, check that your brakes work & then get ready to enjoy being part of a great event!
