The award winning cycling sportive “The Lough Key Classic” run by local cycling club Curlieu Wheelers, returns to Boyle this weekend with two distances on offer.
Commencing at 9am on Sunday May 14th. Riders on the 120k route will depart from the Sports Complex before pedalling through counties Roscommon, Sligo and Leitrim.
At 9.30am the 70k riders will also depart from the Sports Complex (Eircode F52 HK46) on an equally challenging journey.
Both distances will have a mid-way stop for refreshments in King House.
The entry for both events is priced at €25 for Cycling Ireland members. For non-cycling Ireland licence holders there is an additional charge of €20. Entry includes a food stop mid-way, a hot meal at the end of both cycles and top quality marshalling and hospitality that the event has become famous for.
Online entry is now open, and with this event attracting close on 200 cyclists in previous years, numbers will be limited. The event is open to all cyclists over the age of 18.
A small number of entries will be accepted on the morning of the event, but the organisers would appreciate if intending participants registered online in advance so they can ascertain numbers for catering etc.
The Lough Key Classic was the winner of Connacht Cycling Leisure Event of the Year in 2022.
