Down 100
Big thanks and congratulations on taking part in our fantastic Down 100 Ride on Sunday 6 June, and for raising so much money for Action Medical Research. Our first Down 100 Ride attracted over 150 riders, and everyone had a great day in the saddle. It was brilliant to have Sean Kelly join us on the ride!
Check out and purchase images from the ride at SportivePhoto.
Thanks also to our good friends at Zipvit for supplying great goody bags and to Total Produce for supplying our bananas. Also a massive thank you to Strangford College for making all the facilities available to us.
Please send your sponsorship to Down 100 Ride, Action Medical Research, Vincent House, North Parade, Horsham. West Sussex RH12 2DP. Please make cheques payable to Action Medical Research.
Need another challenge? We have 12 more 100-mile/100km rides still to come this year, check out our 100-mile bike rides and clock up a few more miles with the Take Action bike team. We also have a second 100-mile ride in Northern Ireland, the Finn MacCool 100. Check out the website for more details.
Date for next year's Down 100 to be announced, keep checking our website.
Join Sean Kelly on our new Down 100 cycling challenge in Northern Ireland which promises to be a truly awesome event. This is a unique opportunity to cycle with a cycling legend who will be riding the 100-mile undulating route which is accompanied by a 100km route option for those that are new to distance riding. This event is expected to be a big hit with riders of all abilities and with the added bonus of riding with cycling royalty, it will be a truly memorable occasion for those taking part.
Starting out from the grounds of Strangford College this ride meanders along quiet country lanes passing areas of outstanding scenery, a landscape dotted with loughs, castles and mountains away in the distance. Rarely will you be away from the waters edge and when you are you'll be tackling the undulations of the countryside. Both routes include a novel experience of crossing Strangford Lough on the car ferry. Sign up now for an awesome experience.
If you are a seasoned cyclist or a recreational rider, the Down 100 has been designed to make sure you have the perfect day in the saddle. The Down 100 is fully supported by great route signs, marshals, bike mechanics, back-up vehicles, regular drink points and a fantastic lunch stop. You will be cheered over the finish line as you receive your commemorative Down 100 ride medal.
Our riders will be helping to stop suffering in children. Every tough mile ridden helps fund medical research to treat sick babies and tackle premature birth, to make life better for children with disabilities, and to target a group of rare diseases that together severely affect many forgotten children.
