On Yer Bike to the Euro’s 2016: The FAI - Mustard Seed Euro Cycle
Deemed to be the hottest charity cycle of the summer, The FAI - Mustard Seed Euro Cycle will take place this June and will include some 130 cyclists, on two wheels, from the Aviva Stadium to the Stade de France, finishing up with much sought after match tickets for the first Ireland game; Ireland Vs Sweden, in the UEFA Euro 2016 tournament.
Joining the FAI’s Martin O’Neill and John Delaney for the launch of the cycle at the Aviva were Roz Purcell and three of Ireland’s Dragons from The Dragon’s Den, Niall O’Farrell, Bobby Kerr and Sean Gallagher.
And you don’t have to be a pro to take part either! The Dublin2Paris cycle offers participants two route options from a duration and difficulty point of view, so that whatever your fitness level you can be part of this extraordinary adventure!
For the more competent cyclist the route will cover 700km over five days on the saddle; Dublin - Rosslare - Cherbourg and on-wards to Paris. For those who wish to partake but on a more recreational level, the shorter route of 200km with two days on the saddle fly’s them from Dublin to Nantes, where they join with the group and together freewheel it to Paris.
This all inclusive package covers everything from flights, ferry, accommodation, insurance, bike transport, match ticket, meals etc; not to mention a barrel full of fun and craic along the way, in which has to be the most novel mode of transport to the Euro’s 2016!
Full route information can be found on www.Dublin2Paris.com.
