The 31st annual Croí Corrib Charity Cycle will take place in Galway City and Connemara this weekend, with some traffic disruption expected along the routes.
The cycle starts at University of Galway Dangan Sports Campus at 8am on Sunday, and finishes at Croí House, Newcastle.
Due to the large number of cyclists taking part, Croí are advising motorists and road users that there may be delays in the area throughout Sunday.
There are two routes which will be affected throughout the morning and afternoon.
50km Route: An out-and-back route that departs from the Dangan Sports Facility Carpark (adjacent to NUIG), heads out via the new Moycullen bypass, stops at Oughterard, and returns back via the Moycullen bypass before finishing at the Croí Heart & Stroke Centre.
107km Route: Departs from the Dangan Sports Facility Carpark (adjacent to NUIG) before passing through Moycullen, Spiddal, Rossaveal, Maam Cross, and Oughterard, returns via the Moycullen bypass, and finishes at the Croí Heart & Stroke Centre, Newcastle, Galway City.
The shorter route does not go through Moycullen. The longer route goes through Moycullen Town on the way out, but back via the new Moycullen bypass.
Croí would like to take this opportunity to thank cyclists, motorists, and local communities along the route for their patience and understanding in advance of the event.
Registrations for the event close on Saturday at 4pm. No registrations will be permitted on the day.
