The event involved many long hours of planning and preparation for what was a gruelling but hugely enjoyable event for the participants. Club Derry commends Richard Ferris, Diarmuid Scullion, Emmett Stewart and Chris Collins on all their efforts. A huge deal of thanks to all those who sponsored the team, whether via personal sponsorship, taking part in the Sperrin Challenge, or the many businesses who provided their goods and services free of charge for the cause.
Having set off from Owenbeg on Sunday 22nd August, the lads cycled 730 miles in 9 days stopping off at Sligo, Galway, Doolin, Killarney, Blarney, Kilkenny, Dublin and Newcastle before arriving back in Derry on Tues 31st August.
With a trip so eventful it’s impossible to capture everything in this short article. Interested parties can find hundreds of updates, photos, videos and more on the “Slam” blog at www.facebook.com/oakleafcycleslam. It’s well worth a visit
