They're closing down large tracts of Dublin City for the Great Dublin Bike Ride on Sunday, September 23rd. All cyclists also receive this goodie bag and a sweet finishers' medal.
The Great Dublin Bike Ride is a special one; rolling out from the heart of Georgian Dublin for a ride around the best of Dublin city and county.
And with the route hugging the coast, it’s an ideal way to see the city at its best. It takes place on September, Sunday 23rd.
Because large tracts of the city centre are given over to the cyclists on the day; the sportive creates a unique environment for cyclists.
It comes but once a year and is really worth experiencing. You’ll get to cycle the city like on no other day of the year.

Not content with taking over a huge part of Dublin City for our cycling pleasure, the Great Dublin Bike Ride also offers some pretty sweet goodies for all participants.
Everyone who rides gets a goodie bag containing a branded cycling hat and neck buff; the latter handy for the cold mornings that are soon on the way.
There’s also a branded drawstring bag and water bottle for all Great Dublin Bike Ride cyclists.
And when you’ve completed the course, you’ll be presented with one of the nicest medals we’ve seen, below.
There are still eight days left to register so if you’re not already in, you still have time.
However, the event has a strict cap of 7,000 riders and the ‘sold out’ sign will be coming out soon; the organisers on track again this year to fill up their quota.
The entry closes in eight days; next Sunday, September 16th. You can enter and get any other additional information by following this link.
