Inaugural Suir Valley Cycling Festival to provide major financial boost.

 

An influx of around one thousand visitors to Clonmel this Bank Holiday weekend will provide a major financial boost to the town.

The annual 3-Day International Cycle Race has been added to with a number of leisure cycles for the first ever Suir Valley Cycling Festival.

Event organiser Declan Byrne says when the number of bed nights are combined with the spend on fuel and food Clonmel could benefit to the tune of €250,000 over the three days.
