Niamh McCutcheon, chair of the Lough Derg RNLI Fundraising Committee and the ‘Lap the Lake’ Event Committee, said: ‘We would like to thank the cycling committee: Ena Butler Veronica Plunkett Hilda Hamilton Laura Clarke Jonathan Horgan Joe Hughes John Mac Mahon and Mike Molampy. Cyclists and their families praised the attention to detail, safety and comfort, a compliment to the organisational skills of the Lap the Lake Fundraising Committee. The riders' safety and well-being were a priority for the organisers and were well catered to a large number of volunteers operated as First Aid providers, out-riders and marshals, with bike maintenance stops along the way, as well as comfort and refreshments stations. The event started and finished at Lough Derg Yacht Club where the RNLI lifeboat the Both routes gave participants the opportunity to delight in the outstanding beauty of the lake and the River Shannon. The shorter route took cyclists to just beyond Killaloe, to a turnaround point at the Killaloe Sailing Club. The longer route took participants on a full circuit of Lough Derg, giving entrants the chance to cycle through three counties, Tipperary, Clare and Galway. Some 304 cyclists took part in the event, a significant increase in numbers from last year with the new option to either complete a 120km route or a shorter 65km course.
