Nicolas Roche for Dunloy & Ballymore club events
Just about to finish a long season, Nicolas Roche will be back in Ireland soon. And now’s your chance to ride with him and even throw a few questions his way at both informal gatherings and an on-stage interview.
Roche will be the star turn on Saturday week, October 14th, at Dunloy CC’s Tour of the Legends Sportive.
There will be a mass 'ride out' from Dunloy Parish Centre at 9:30am. Riders will follow a fully marshalled 52 miles route through North Antrim.
The route will take the Causeway coast and back through the iconic Dark Hedges.
