Last Years Ride:

2023 - Ireland West Coast

In July 2023, BICA completed a challenging 600-mile ride along the west coast of Ireland. Over 30 cyclists and a great backup team were involved for the ride to be completed. The ride began at Mizen Head and finished 8 days later at Malin Head.

2022 - Cyprus

In the October of 2022, BICA completed its 21st bike ride around Cyprus. Over 5 days of cycling, 385 miles were completed around the country. We tacked the Troodos mountains which were over 6,000 ft above sea level and together raised over £100,000 for some amazing charities and causes.
