Bulfin Heritage Cycle Rally – National Heritage Week 2021

The Bulfin Heritage Cycle Rally will be held on Saturday August 28th, a change from our originally advertised date of August 21st. After discussions with Met Eirinn we decided to postpone the event for one week, due to the forecast of extremely wet conditions. The wellbeing and safety of our cyclists is of paramount importance to us, and the decision was made with this in mind.
