WE FEEL THIS BELOW TELLS OUR TOUR DE CURE STORY.
The TOUR DE CURE cycle offers 4 distances/courses which have been selected (see them here) and these loop through the beautiful East Cork, Waterford and South Tipperary Counties. The distances vary from 165KM, 100KM, 50KM and 15 KM so there is a cycle route for every leisure cyclist at whatever level you are.

Over 50 volunteers help run the event each year which has gone from strength to strength. What started from a chat on a winter bike ride, between 2 friends has now turned into one of the largest, well supported leisure bike rides in Ireland.
In 2013, the event is scheduled for Sunday May 12th and potential sponsors are welcome to contact us now.
