Who could forget the Giro d’Italia when Northern Ireland went pink and we turned out in our thousands? Our Festival of Cycling will recapture that spirit of fun and remind us that ‘on your bike’ can be good for you too.

Starting off in Titanic Belfast with the Gran Fondo weekend on 3 – 4 June, the festival reaches out to counties Antrim, Armagh, Down and to Derry-Londonderry. Whether you’re a mountain bike enthusiast seeking thrills, a dedicated cyclist pitching yourself a new challenge, looking for an enjoyable day out, or an evening with friends that promises something a little bit different.
