Two charities to benefit from cycling fundraiser

Two worthy local charities will benefit from the efforts of hundreds of cyclists taking part in a major fundraiser in West Cork next month.

The annual Clonakilty Charity Cycle — which last year raised over €36,000 for Cancer Connect— will be held on Saturday, Sep 14. The organisers are inviting entries from everyone, from experienced cyclists to those who “pedal around” occasionally.

To facilitate serious and fun cyclists, there are two routes. One is a 30-mile cycle and the other, for more experienced cyclists, is 60 miles.
