Many thanks to the riders who supported out event yesterday and made it our largest and most enjoyable event ever. We hope you had a good (if somtimes painfull!) day and that we’ll welcome you back again next year. 

We had many volunteers on the day but in particular we want to pay tribute to the team in Kiltealy who fed over 300 people.  Its would be impossible to put on the Mount Leinster Challenge without their huge effort which began many weeks ago.  With only an hour or so’s notice of a 100% increase in turnout they managed to put on their usual magnificent spread which was much appreciated by all.

Thanks to Paddy Redmond (Irish Red Cross) who provides far more than medical assistence but also dispenses mechanical and moral support! Eamonn, Colin and Frank were kept busy providing mechanical support and we thank them and the whole team at the sign on. While many sportives around the country have large professional or local authority teams behind them the Mount Leinster Challenge is entirely run by volunteer organisers from Slaney CC.
