Every year Foyle CC host the Adrian Mullan Sportive in memory of Adrian who was tragically killed riding his bike around his beloved Donegal in October 2015. Traditionally the sportive raises funds for the Foyle Hospice and would have been last Saturday 18th April. Unfortunately the event had to be cancelled this year due to the corona virus pandemic. Foyle CC didn't want the sportive to just disappear this year with the hospice losing out on vital fund raising during these incredibly difficult times. So FCC are now organising the sprotive to be hosted on Zwift this coming Saturday 25th April at 11:30am. On Saturday cyclists from all over Ireland are invited to take part in this incredibly special sportive to support charities during these incredibly challenging times. Join top Irish international’s  Nicholas Roche, Eddie Dunbar, Ryan Mullen, Imogen Cotter, Chris McGlinchey and a host of other top cyclists to ride 41km in aid of charity.  To join the event simply log onto zwift.com and join this event <a href="https://www.zwift.com/events/view/613943" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.zwift.com/events/view/613943</a> Anyone wishing to take part and ride with the pros is encouraged to donate in advance through this link - <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/irish-cyclists-foyle-cc-adrian-mullan-sportive" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.gofundme.com/f/irish-cyclists-foyle-cc-adrian-mullan-sportive</a> Participants can communicate with each other and the pros during the event by using the Cycling Ireland discord channel on the Discord App (details here <a href="http://www.cyclingireland.ie/downloads/discord%20set-up.pdf" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.cyclingireland.ie/downloads/discord%20set-up.pdf</a> ) This year the Adrian Mullan Sportive donations will go to the Irish Red Cross and the Foyle Hospice.  The Irish Red Cross are providing essential support during the Covid-19 pandemic.
