The 2016 bike-fest, Northern Ireland Festival of Cycling running from 3 - 19 June.
This two week bike-fest packs in events and festivities, fun activity workshops that will keep the kids entertained for hours alongside routes that will take you through some of Northern Ireland's most stunning scenery. Who could forget the Giro d'Italia when Northern Ireland went pink and we turned out in our thousands? Our Festival of Cycling will recapture that spirit of fun and remind us that 'on your bike' can be good for you too. Starting off in Titanic Belfast with the Gran Fondo weekend on 3 - 4 June http://www.discovernorthernireland.com/Gran-Fondo-Giro-dItalia-Northern-Ireland-Belfast-P47063, the festival reaches out to counties Antrim, Armagh, Down and to Derry-Londonderry. Whether you're a mountain bike enthusiast seeking thrills, a dedicated cyclist pitching yourself a new challenge, looking for an enjoyable day out, or an evening with friends that promises something a little bit different.
