This year’s much awaited Meath Heritage Cycle tour jersey has been unveiled. The jersey design celebrates the rich heritage of Meath and it`s county colours by interlacing a vivacious yellow against a vibrant teal background. As part of the tradition of past years, the jersey promotes one of Meath’s iconic and very popular tourism sites – St John’s Castle in Trim. All cyclists registering for the 50k, 100k & 160k distances will receive the jersey as part of the entry fee.
The 9th Meath Heritage Cycle tour, part of the Sport Ireland Cycle series (formerly An Post) is organised by Meath Local Sports Partnership. The tour will take place over the weekend of July 29th and 30th. The organisers anticipate in excess of 3500 cyclists will descend on Trim for this weekend. The Sport Ireland Meath Heritage Cycle tour is made up of 4 distances: 11k Family Spin; 50k Tara Loop; 100k Royal Tour & 160k Royal Challenge. The 11k Family spin takes place on Sat 29th with the other 3 distances taking place on Sunday 30th.
So whether you are an avid cyclist or just dusting down the bike for the first time this year, there is a distance to suit your ability!
Early Bird price offer ends on Thursday 20th – after this date, the cost of entry reverts to full price. See http://www.meathsports.ie/cycle-tour/ for full details.
