We'll cross the Blackwater Park Bridge, cycle through the park and follow the Windtown Road to Donaghpatrick where we turn right towards Baile Ghib. We will stop at Halla Bhaile Ghib (7km) and split into two groups -

either another 7km to Park Beo Greenway Hub via Bóthar an tSéil and Clongill

or another 14km to Park Beo Greenway Hub via Bóthar na Sceiche and Bóthar an Phortaigh.

Doughty's Park Beo Greenway Hub has picnic tables and toilets, and is directly connected to the Greenway, making it an ideal pit-stop! Each participant will be given a token for refreshments at Park Beo

Free parking and toilets are available at Blackwater park.

We'll be taking it slow and steady, so the event is suitable for riders of all abilities.

👉We will return to Navan along the Boyne Valley to Lakelands Greenway as a group at 2pm or participants may make their own way back.
