Pedal Causeway Coast 2026

This is it!

Less than 48 hours to go until we hit the Antrim Coast Road with a 0730 start from Ballycastle on Sunday morning.  The weather forecast looks OK - temperatures have dropped significantly and the wind isn't forecast to be too bad, coming from the Southwest, but it always feels stronger along the coast.  Hopefully we won't get too much rain, but this is Ireland so we are prepared!

Thank you so much to all our sponsors.  Your generosity to support this great cause, providing services to Parkinson's sufferers and helping to fund much needed research, is very much appreciated.

Climb Every Mountain (well in the Mournes anyway)

In addition to training for our June cycling challenge, Mark and Bryan are also taking in a bit of hiking in preparation for a trip with our old school friend (and non-cyclist) Patrick to the Pyrenees in September.  So this weekend we managed to climb Slieve Binnian, Lamalagh and Cove Mountain in some mixed weather. 

Why we are fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page! 

Mark and Bryan are taking part in Pedal Causeway Coast for Parkinson’s UK this June and would appreciate your support! 

Parkinson's UK is a cause very close to both our families as we have seen the impact of this condition at close quarters over a number of years.  

Please help by sponsoring our cycling challenge. All the money raised will go towards ground-breaking research and life-changing support for the Parkinson's community.

Thank you very much for your support.  It is very much appreciated.
