3 Days – 50 Cyclists – 300 kms (approx.)… and Tonnes of Fun…..
The BYC 4 Provinces Challenge is a unique event and a brilliant personal challenge for cyclists of all levels – from enthusiastic novices to experienced ‘rouleurs’.
Strictly limited to 50 cyclists, over 3 days participants get to enjoy the rugged beauty of Connaught, covering between 80-120 kms per day – and at your own pace. After a good day cycling, we relax over dinner, have a few drinks and share stories from the day….. and yore!
A full support team travels with the group including support vehicles, bike mechanic and luggage transfers so that all your needs are provided for. Hotels and all meals are included as part of your €300 registration.
You will also receive a specially designed 4 Provinces Cycling shirt for the event – for your wardrobe or your trophy cabinet!
