Known for its welcoming atmosphere and excellent organisation, the Kilbehenny sportive has become a popular fixture on the Irish cycling calendar. Riders can expect well-marked routes, refreshment stops along the way and post-ride hospitality back at the community centre.
This year’s event is also supporting an important cause, raising funds and awareness for Motor Neurone Disease patient Clare Downey and her family.
Whether you are an experienced sportive rider chasing the challenge of The Vee or a leisure cyclist looking for a great day out on the bike, the Kilbehenny Cycling Club sportive offers something for everyone.
