On your bike

People taking part in the event can choose between a 24-hour mountain bike challenge and a 24-hour road bike challenge.

All welcome

These challenges are open to people of all fitness levels. Whether you're a fitness fanatic and want to set records, or if you just want to test your personal fitness, we've got you covered.

And don't be put off by the name; you won't actually be cycling for 24 hours unless you absolutely want to!

Mountain bike challenge

Set in the Nephin Mountains just outside Newport, County Mayo, the mountain bike course is approximately 20km long. It includes some forestry track and part of the western way. Expect a couple of fairly steady uphill sections, but what goes up must come down! Get ready for some fast downhill sections too.

Road cycle

Starting and finishing in Delphi Valley, County Mayo, the road cycle route is roughly 48km long. It takes you along one the most scenic drives in the world, taking in popular beauty spots such as Ashleigh Falls, Croagh Patrick and Mweelrea – the highest mountain in Connacht.

Team cycling

If you're more of a team player, you can join as part of a team. Every team member must complete one lap as a minimum, which is achievable for even "Sunday cyclists."
