Kids welcome to take part in Ring of Beara Cycle

Adults are not the only ones getting on their bikes for the Ring of Beara Cycle as the event also has its very own cycle for children around the town of Kenmare.
Not only does this give kids a chance to join in the days’ activities with their parents on May 28, but it’s free! Plus it’s a great way for kids to get outdoors and exercise in a fun and safe environment.
The Ring of Beara Kids’ Cycle is open to any child in national school between Third and Fifth Class. It starts at 10am on the day, well after the adults have set-off, and follows a 2km route around Kenmare town starting in Kenmare Square.
A team of marshals will supervise the route and help ensure the safety of all children who participate. Anyone who wishes to register a child for the cycle can do so from 9.30am at the marquee located in Kenmare Square on the day of the event. Parents and guardians are welcome to cycle with their children. All participants should bring and wear a safety helmet for the cycle.
You do not have to be registered for the Ring of Beara Cycle for your child to take part, and cycling with your child is not mandatory.
Kids will also receive their own special medal when they cross the finish line!

Killarney cyclist Sam Bolger (18) has been selected as one of four riders for the Belgian Project – one of the most prestigious stepping stones for Irish riders with ambitions to turn professional.
Northern Ireland-based Belgian Danny Blondell is the man behind the project.
For the last 15 years Blondell selects between four and six Irish riders and sends them to Belgium where they stay with local families and contest pro and semi-pro races.
As a race commentator Blondell is well placed to decide who is deserving of inclusion in the project.
Over the first six months of the year he makes decisions while attending early season races.
Those lucky enough to get selected go to live and race in Belgium for the second six months of the year.
Bolger, from Lewis Road, was selected after winning the junior race in the Cycling Ireland National Road Series in Mayo in March and the Orwell Stage Race in County Wicklow in June.
“He is delighted, it is a very big deal,” his father Paul told the Killarney Advertiser.
“He has had a very good year and the wins in Mayo and Wicklow secured the Belgium Project.”
Bolger will head to Belgium in late July and after to the Junior Tour of Ireland which takes place in County Clare between July 12 and 17.
