Whilst it’s been a bit stop/start over the last couple of years, the excitement/nerves are building, but I’m sure it’ll be a fantastic few days, and an incredible way to see some stunning parts of Ireland. I have always fancied doing some cycling in Ireland, and the idea of riding between Leitrim and Killarney came about over one too many beers with Eddie McGillycuddy! Once he said he was up for it as well we were off and running. What appealed to you most about taking part in this challenge? Both are very different in cycling terms but highlight my cycling efforts so far. I probably have two spots, either around Lake Como where the views were simply incredible, although I was more focused on getting up the various tough hills at the time, or Bruges to Sluis in Belgium, a very sedate 25km along lovely quiet canals with fantastic cycle paths and stunning views. It was money well spent – seat suspension is a very welcome benefit!! I have a Trek Domane – my second Trek bike, and an impulse buy before I rode around the Italian Alps. My saying is “if I can do it, anyone can” which I genuinely believe! I enjoy it (at times!) but wouldn’t necessarily say “I’m a keen cyclist”! This will be my fifth charity ride of similar distances. The Lighthouse Club, On Yer Bike Cycle ride across Ireland, is only a few months away, but we caught up with one of the cyclists raising money, our very own Stephen Gallagher to ask him a few questions about his cycling experience. The challenge will end on the 15th of May where the participants will be joined by teams completing the Lighthouse Club’s 4 Peaks Challenge for an awesome gala dinner. The 3-day challenge kicks off in Pat Gallagher’s hometown of Leitrim on the 12th May 2022 where the teams will begin their 210 mile ride down the length of Ireland to Killarney. Gallagher Group is sponsoring the Lighthouse Club’s, On Yer Bike Ireland Cycling event, and we have a Gallagher team taking part as well.
