There’s a Darkness into Light event with a difference taking place locally next weekend.
Clonmel Cycling Club is organising the dawn cycle to raise awareness for people impacted by suicide and self-harm.
The cyclists will roll out from the Talbot Hotel car park at 5am next Saturday morning for a leisurely spin towards Carrick on Suir.
Clonmel CC PRO Nicola Maunsell says the event is geared toward cyclists of all levels.
“It’s basically a cycle to show solidarity for the cause and support Pieta in their fundraising to help people with mental health issues.
“We will cycle together as a group from the Talbot down through the town. When we get to the Kickham Plaza people will be asked to take off at their own pace – cycle along as far as you can (towards Carrick on Suir) for 45 minutes or so. Then everyone will head back up the road again to the Talbot.
“The idea is we start together – we finish together. It allows anyone – even if you haven’t been on a bike for a few years – you just do what you’re able.”
