Why we ride

Every euro and pound gets them there

The World Transplant Games come to Leuven, Belgium in 2027. This year three quarters of every entry goes to Transplant Sport Northern Ireland, to help their cycling team with travel and entry to the Games. The rest goes to Friends of the Cancer Centre.

75%

What it's like: up the Foyle shore to Moville, across to Carndonagh and the Atlantic side at Ballyliffin and Clonmany, then back down Lough Swilly through Buncrana and Fahan. Rolling all day rather than one big climb, with the high point just after Moville.
