This Year's Ride:

2025 - East Coast of Ireland

This year, we’re taking on a 600-mile cycling adventure along Ireland’s east coast, from the Giant’s Causeway to Ballynarry Castle. With breathtaking scenery and an unforgettable journey ahead, this is an experience you can’t miss. Do you fancy it?

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.

Last Year's Ride:

2024 - 32 Counties of Ireland

Last year's ride promised to be an unforgettable experience as BICA celebrated its 25th anniversary since its inception in 1999. In 2024, a special journey awaited as the team geared up to cycle 600 miles throughout all 32 counties of Ireland.
