Enjoy an accessible, fun ride on the safe and scenic new East Cork Greenway, welcoming cyclists of all ages and abilities in the company friends and families.
Under 16s can participate but must be accompanied by a responsible adult; 16-17 year olds must have parental consent .
The Greenway: The 23km long Greenway is an off-road walking and cycling route through the heart of East Cork which connects the towns and villages of Youghal, Killeagh, Mogeely, and Midleton. Suitable for use by people of all ages and abilities and in all seasons and weathers.
Time: Our event begins and finishes in Youghal, at a time that suits you! Earliest departure is 8am and last riders can depart at 5pm. Last riders are expected home by 8pm.
Getting there: Car parking is available at the Youghal trailhead by the MacCurtainstown car park. Additional FREE parking is available at the nearby beach car parks at Claycastle and Front Strand, or use car parks in the town centre and cycle to the start.
Goody bags: All participants will receive a fantastic goody bag that includes a unique event water bottle, drawstring bag, set of lights for your bike, rucksack rainproof cover, ‘Respect The Water’ pin badge and a host of safety leaflets and discount vouchers.
As a rule of thumb, slower or less experienced riders would cover around 12km/hr. More experienced riders could manage around 20km/hr and expert cyclists might see 30km/hr.
Other information:The Greenway remains open to the public throughout. There will be mechanical support on the route, water and aid stations, and a coffee shop at every station along the route. TriHub.ie will be there with bike tools and spares for any maintenance required on your bike and we’ll have lots of RNLI bling plus a few surprises along the way.
Need a bike for the day? You can pre-book your bike, trike, e-bike, and safety gear from the local providers: Youghal Bike Rental nearby(tell them you’re doing the event to avail of our discount!).
