Cycling Initiative

Introduction:

The Cork Sports Partnership has coordinated a number of cycling initiatives during 2009 and plans are under way to continue this into 2010. The Sports Partnership has 3 major cycling initiatives planned for 2010. The aim of these initiatives is to promote cycling across the City and County of Cork by offering participants the opportunity to cycle in an organised, safer environment. These events cater for all categories of cyclists from recreational, to more experienced cyclists. The first cycling event of 2010 is the Mallow 10km Family Fun Challenge which is taking place in Mallow 4th of April at Mallow GAA Sports Complex.
