Thanks for putting this up. Is there any sponsorship requirements or is it anything you can raise?

Thanks

Ah, that St. Lukes. I thought this was a fundraising spin for Bertie and his pals again.

An excellent cause and a nice route as well. If I'm not working, I'll be there.

ashleey

Will do. ( now that we know it's not for Bertie!)

A great, friendy cycle brought to you by Slaney CC who also run the Mount Leinster Challenge!

This one brings you over the mountain from the Kiltealy side (the side you descend from on the MLC). This is a long slog of a climb with a steep centre section. Gradient not as tough as Corrobutt Gap but extra length makes it hard.

Also a short steep little b****x of a climb over Sliabh Buí at about 90km which is a killer before a downhill run to the finish. Great local support last year.

May well consider this especially for St.Lukes.

Sponsorship card won't download for me. Anyone else having this problem?

MichealD

I see that link is broken. I'll pass info on to organisers at weekend.

I was talking to one of the guys involved and they had about 125 last year so hoping for about 200 tomorrow. 250 goodie bags made up I believe!

Should be a good ride. Very misty and foggy going over Mount Leinster last year but tomorrow shoud be lovely.

Anyone who has experience of St.Lukes in Rathgar will tell you its a fabulous facility... I would do it but due to work I cant ... !

I put into the pot anyway as my late father spent time there before Christmas last year. The staff/doctors just couldnt do enogh for him.

Well worth doing this cycle lads.....:)

Yes, it was a great day, great Event and all done for the right cause, which is the main thing .

I would like to say Thank you very much to the Organisers and all Volunteers including Jacinta, who transported the fallen bits of my bike into the finish line. Very much appreciated .

All aspects of the Event were very well carried out through the day. I could not believe the amount and quality of food at the GAA as well as in the Pub after the Event. The shower facility was a great help as well I have to say.

All in all a lovely day. Thank you all!

first time doing the St Lukes,

Well done to the Leacy brothers Ger and Teo for showing us how to do it.

I showed up at 08:30 thinking a 9am start !!

Found the last section from Carnew to ferns pretty tough


great food and circuit, and great marshalling.


Congrats on growing your numbers lads.
