Once again we will be starting and finishing at Shoreline Leisure Centre in Greystones.
Starting and finishing at the Shoreline Leisure Centre in Greystones, all their excellent facilities at the centre are at your disposal. Along the way we have water, food and repair stops at Baltinglass and Rathdrum. Also our roving repair vehicles who travel on the circuit are always delighted to assist in the event of a mechanical problem. At the end of the day you will be rewarded with a certificate for completing the event and a medal, along with food, tea and coffee. You will then be able to look around and chat with others who have experienced the event.
WHAT IS THE WICKLOW 200
The Wicklow 200 is a non-competitive cycle ride that takes place on one day every June. It covers 200 kilometres around the roads of beautiful County Wicklow (the Garden of Ireland) and attracts over 2000 cyclists from many different countries.
The shorter Wicklow Challenge takes place on the same day, and shares most of its route with the Wicklow 200.
Taking part in the “Wicklow 200” or the shorter “Wicklow 100” is taking part in one of the best cycling challenges in Ireland. This very popular event which is on it’s 33rd year, incorporates some of the most difficult mountains in Co. Wicklow to cycle up and at the same time covers some of the most breathtaking scenic roads in the whole of Ireland.
The Wicklow 200 is famous for its relaxed, friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and for its ability to combine this with organisation of the highest standard.
The event has been organised each year since it started in 1982 by the Irish Veteran Cyclists Association
The 2015 event will be on Sunday June 7th
