Hi Everyone!!!!

On Saturday 26th Blanch Wheelies are organising a 100km charity cycle from the Strawberry Hall to the Hill of Tara and back to raise funds for St. Francis Hospice, Blancherstown. Since 1989 St. Francis Hospice has provided a service of specialist palliative care to people in North Dublin in advanced stages of cancer, motor neuron disease and HIV/AIDS, as well as support for their families and friends. There are no charges for services provided by St. Francis Hospice.
There is no registration fee for this event but in place we would like people to make donations to the Hospice on our My Charity page. Any donation big or small would be hugely appreciated. We would like people to sign-up on Eventbrite so we have a rough indication of numbers but you can also sign-up that morning. Here are all the details:

just checking on streetview, as I haven't been down there since I was a kid...I see not much has changed - which is great...lots of memories of fishing there on the banks ....except that I have to drive down on Saturday and only looks like about 20-spots there in the car park.
Is that little car park opposite the pub the only parking, or do yee have another place by any chance? The road is fairly tight...wouldn't be parking on the side of it I'd imagine?

There is space for about 80 cars in the car park across the road and if that's full there should be space up the road in the wrens nest.

Will be cool but nice and bright for this tomorrow.

Food stop halfway and grub in the strawberry hall after. Donate whatever you can on the day or online in the links above, and if you can register before hand to give and idea of the turn out it would be helpful..

A boardsie in pink jersey was in the bunch for a few km after skryne, didn't notice you til you turned off.

Ha haaa that was me, was out for a spin and was wondering what was going on when I passed a load of cyclist at the top of skryne ! Found out a few mins layer when u caught me and I jumped in. Was talking to AmberGold who was nice enough to fill me in on what was going on.
