Dear Archive,
Cork Environmental Forum have teamed up with Cork City Council, Cork County Council, Cork Sports Partnership, Cork Cycling Campaign and An Oige to bring you some fantastic events to celebrate National Bike Week.   Last Sunday our family cycle from Passage West to Blackrock Castle was a blast - you can see some photos here.  This Sunday (20th) we are hosting a Charity Cycle from Ballincollig to Fitzgeralds Park - all welcome, and no pre-registration required.  (Suggested donation of €2 to Marymount Hospice.) The ride will be fully stewarded by experienced cyclists and escorted by An Garda Siochana and there will be music, games, a puppet show and lots of yummy food waiting for you in the park! Enjoy!
