SHOUT OUT TO CYCLISTS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK / REGISTRATION OF INTEREST PLEASE: we are eager to host an inaugural cycling fundraiser in 2019, adding another event to our proposed portfolio in celebration of Campbell College's 125th anniversary next year.

We know there are lots of OCs, current, past parents and other supporters who really enjoy cycling. Your feedback and all registrations of interest gratefully received as we assess feasibility, with thanks.

What is being considered, in consultation with provider and past parent Wild Atlantic Cycling, is a 6 day cycle taking in 'Ireland's Crown Route': starting & finishing at Campbell College in September 2019 (19-25th).

Availability: we would be limited to up to 24 cyclists

Proposed itinerary (designed to be a challenge and takes in an average of 60 or 85 miles each day - each day’s route designed with an optional extra 25 mile loop):

We'll bespoke this trip further, with brew stops, lunches etc. being hosted in Campbell College and / or OC relevant locations.
