On Saturday, October 15th, the communities of Dublin North will unite of to host a 50km cycle as part of the Cycle Against Suicide SpinOff series. A SpinOff is a locally organised cycle that takes place once each month after the main 14-day Cycle around the island of Ireland ends. The events are locally organised, owned by the community and championed by Cycle Against Suicide ‘local leaders.’ A SpinOff has all the colour, energy and fun of the annual Cycle but is packed into a single day. Entertainment, refreshments and, of course, a mental well-being presentation all take place as part of the SpinOff.
The Dublin North SpinOff promises to be a great event. It will depart from Malahide Community School; Pobalscoil Íosa, at 10.30 am on Saturday, October 15th. Many local and national Mental Health Organisations will attend at the start and the finish to outline the services they provide to those in need. The 48km route travels through Malahide, taking in the historic Malahide Castle and Demense, and onto Swords before looping around Dublin Airport. The halfway stop, and mental health presentation, will take place at Ballymun United FC, before returning to Malahide via picturesque Portmarnock, taking in the beautiful coastal landscape of Lambay Island, Ireland’s Eye and Howth Head.More information on the attached picture.
