Training day tomorrow kicks off countdown to Stradbally pilgrimage
The Tour De Picnic is back for its seventh year, and RaboDirect have added their weight to proceedings this time round.
Over 1000 hardy souls will be running and biking their way to Stradbally on the first day of Electric Picnic – raising much needed funds for the Irish Youth Foundation, Special Olympics Ireland and the ISPCC (Childline) – and preparations will be stepping up from tomorrow. A training day kicks off at Lock 6 Café at 10am, as participants limber up for their challenge. If you’re round and about Dublin, keep an eye out for them – the sight might even be enough to convince you to sign up next year!
And, of course, keep you eyes peeled for the charitable warriors when they arrive in Laois on the first morning of the festival; organisers might be transporting their tents and luggage for them, but it’s nothing but slow-twitch muscles and pedal-power to rely on for them to get themselves there.
Good luck to all involved from HP; god speed!
