How do these runs work? I'm a newbie & have never been on one. Does everyone pay a fee to a charity before the run or how do they raise money?

Just turn up to the Huntmans on the day with cash in hand.

not me organising it, just thought it was a good cause and should be a good day out

It was a great spin last year. Had lunch in a hotel in Liscannor (i think) and the sun was splitting the rocks. The coast road from ballyvaughan towards black head is one of the nicest routes in the country for a spin (IMO of course).

Would love to go out for a spin, I only got up on 2 wheels 4 months ago and dont know anyone else from galway who rides, should be a good way to meet some like minded folks and raise a few bob for a good cause

I wish I was going on this run but I'll be working Sunday

There's some really beautiful scenery along the route. Just a heads-up that the road to Kinvara isn't the greatest, especially the road surface just on the outskirts to the village. But from Kinvara on it's fine.

Anyway, hope ye have a great ride-out.

pity 2 arsehole in jeeps pulled out into the convoy in Ennistimon and drove @ 50Kph for around 10k before we could get passed them, oblivious to their ignorance and around 15 of use got cut off the back end and lost the trail...............................
Nice day out still

Had a great day, met some sound lads and learned a bit about riding around some pretty hairy bends... a great day out!
