Gerry Brannigan was a valued and enthusiastic member of Orwell Wheelers who passed away aged just 52 years of age in October 2006.
A benevolent fund to assist bereaved families of IVCA/Cycling Ireland members was created in Gerry’s name and a fund raising bike ride which honours his memory has quickly established itself as an absolute ‘must do’ event for club cyclists throughout Leinster and beyond.
With the racing and sportive season already a distant memory the Gerry Brannigan Memorial is a great opportunity for club riders to meet up and ride a not too testing 65km course around Meath.
This year’s event takes place on the 14th November and starts and finishes at Clonee at 10.30am. Entry is €20 and Orwell members are being asked to assist with marshalling duties on the day.
The route will look something like this...although maybe not exactly.
