Portaferry 3-Day & Madigan GP Entry Details

Ards Cycling Club will promote their Annual 3-Day event over the weekend of Friday 20th to Sunday 22nd July.  This year the club welcomes new sponsor SPIN11, a Dublin based company specialising in the production of ‘Team Kit Design’ cycling and triathlon apparel. The company is run by Philip Cassidy who has long been regarded as one of Ireland’s top cyclists, having won the coveted Ras twice (1983 and 1997), and competed at the Olympics twice.
