D2K FOR ONE LAST TIME.
The phenomena that is The D2K will ride out of Dunleer on June 16th this year and the sad news that this will be it’s last outing.
The Charity Cycle, in aid of Motor Neuron Ireland and Paul’s Fight4Life started off as a one day spin to Kilkenny and, latterly to Ballinasloe in Galway and has become an event that, quite literally, had no equals. Last year, a whopping total of €80,000 was gathered and it’s hoped that this year’s figures will eclipse that.
I know for a fact that north of 40 people from Monasterboice peddled from east to west last year and it is hoped for similiar support this time.
It’s a very well run show and training for same will begin pretty imminently.
Entries are now being accepted and please go to The D2K website for more info.
