We
have been supporting The Wicklow 200 since 1996 Irelands largest one
day cycling event and we continue to support this event today.
It 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 1000 cyclists each year from many different countries. The shorter Wicklow Challenge takes place on the same day, and shares most of its route with the Wicklow 200.
The
route is very challenging. It includes many climbs, big and small, with
some up to a height of 500 metres. The total climb is over 2000 metres
so the event should not be taken lightly. While every year many
cyclists who have never attempted a similar challenge before complete
the Wicklow 200 successfully, it requires attention to training and
preparation. Starting at 7:00 a.m. riders are allowed up to 14 hours to
complete the route, although most finish well inside that.
The
event is open to all cyclists, of any age. Previous participants have
included riders from 12 to almost 80 years of age, and from beginners
to internationally known ex-professionals. The only prize is for the
oldest rider to finish.
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.
