Richard Molloy Memorial Road Run. Sunday, Aug 21st Meet at Spawell 11am.

David09

I'm posting this here as the previous thread became messy and long-winded.

On Sunday morning we will meet at Spawell carpark, Templeogue for 11am.

We depart from here to head for Rosslare. There will be a stop for refreshments at "The Coach House", Roundwood. From here we will travel Southerly, around the lower end of the Vartry Reservoir to Arlow, Gorey, Ballycanew and on to Wexford and Rosslare.

It should make for an excellent road trip, taking in awesome views of Sally gap and scenic areas of Wicklow and Wexford.

As this is a charity run, we are hoping to collect €10 from each car participating, regardless of the number of occupants.

All funds will go to "Console", a charity who specialise in suicide bereavement, prevention and councilling.

It will make for a nice day out and help an Irish worthy cause in the process.

Anyone who would like a google maps copy of the route, please send me a pm with your email address.

Would anyone mind if I made a little video of the day? Maybe some of you would like to do a bit to camera?

Amazing selection of cars on show today and really enjoyed the run. Thanks again have to be given to David & co for putting it all together for such a good cause. Plenty of folks had good cameras so heres hoping for some good photos:)

Bodhan

Great day lads, it's got a bit epic up in the mountains and we caused a road block where ever we went.
I think I got some nice video of the day so I'll post it up during the week.
Well done to all that stuck with it to the end, there was only four of us in Rosslare but I think we got ahead of the classics.
Still a great day, we should do the drive again it was lovely.

robbie_998

Some good Craic there and some fantastic cars.

First time i ever hung out with boardsies And it was actually alright :pac:

Cheers all !

I just wanted to say on behalf of Margaret, myself and all of Richie's friends, thanks so so much to everyone who turned up and done the run, its really great to know that he hasn't been forgotten by any of yous or us, and a big big thank you to Dave also, you done an amazing job! Thanks again!

ajmboyce

Well done to all who made it to Rosslare and to the organisers of this very worth while run and I think I speak for everybody who ended up in Rosslare it was well worth and a wonderful feel good factor and a very fitting tribute. Once again well done everyone and I am sure Max Damage was riding with us all the way and probably having a good laugh on certain occassions too. That ones for you Richie.
p.s loving the pics of my capri pure class.

Voodoomelon

An enjoyable drive, looking forward to seeing this video.

David09

A massive thanks goes to Speedy, from octane.ie for the pics at Spawell and Kevin Curry for taking the ones at Rosslare.

Thanks to all who participated on this run. We managed to receive €515 for Console, which was way over and above what we had been expecting.

Once again, a massive thanks to those who donated and participated and made the day what it was.
