Cancer Bus
16.05.17
INISHOWEN Cycling Club
(Inish CC) hosted their annual charity cycle in aid
of the Donegal Cancer Bus helped along with glorious
sunshine on Sunday, May 7, 2017. A fantastic €3,500
has so far been raised from the cycle.
Departing from Moville FC., at 9.30am, many cyclists
opted for the Inish 60 mile route which is less
demanding but still a fair spin. |

charity event on May 7, 2017. |
The challenging Inish
100 mile route was also popular with locals and
visitors to the peninsula. The day proved to be a
huge success in spite of several punctures and the
odd spot of sunburn for some.
A spokesperson said the success was due to a "great
team" who supported Inish CC in many ways throughout
the day.
"Thanks to Supervalu Buncrana and the Ballyliffen
Hotel who facilitated our water/food stops. As did
Philomena O'Brien at the Wee Hall , Culdaff. Paddy
Gillespie ,Ross Donaghey and Paddy Harkin supported
the cyclists from the comfort of their motorbikes, a
much needed role.
"To all who sponsored refreshments especially
Valerie at Caiseal Mara Hotel, Canny & Doherty
Supervalu, and Eamonn Gillen & Sons , thank you. |
