The Inishowen 100 / 60 (i100/60) is the premiere sportive of the North – West and proudly brought to you by Foyle Cycling Club.
This challenging route is one of Ireland’s most scenic and has won awards from Cycling Ireland in past years as Ireland’s best sportive event. Sections of this route take in part of the Wild Atlantic way. This route will be a test for all levels of cyclists, but a shorter option is possible via the i60 for those not wishing to tackle the full distance. Highlights include the Gap of Mamore, Malin Head and Kinnego Bay with spectacular views at Fahan, Five Finger Strand and Greencastle.
The Start and Finish this year has moved to the centre of Derry and we are delighted to show off the city to visitors for the day. Close to the finish and as you return through Derry you will then be guided to the local greenway and bike path facilities.
Start Finish Location:
In partnership with Ebrington Square we will be utilizing this iconic venue for riders to start and as a finish event area.
As you finish you will ride over the iconic peace bridge and be welcomed by a BBQ and Beer (or soft drink – included as part of your entry fee) supplied by The Embankment Bar along with music.
