Limerick.
Sharon Kennedy is one of Greenmount’s Qualified Inclusive Cycling coaches who will be involved in running the Come and Try Days scheduled for December 30th and 31st.
"Limerick Racecourse is a prefect car free location for cycling activities. Greenmount Cycling Academy was established at the racecourse 8 years ago and provide a program of cycling activities for youths. Through this partnership we can develop new opportunities for cyclists with disabilities to have more engagement opportunities with cycling."
You can book a place by emailing Sharon at inclusion@greenmountca.com or get in touch through the club facebook page.
Handcycles are powered by the arms and support people with reduced mobility to enjoy cycling. The GCA Inclusion Club is a very exciting opportunity for people with disabilities in Limerick to come and try out a club that caters for all ages and abilities and now has the equipment in place to provide additional programmes and support.
"This is a great resource for people with disabilities in Limerick to have accessible equipment and to have a Cycling Inclusion Club that caters for all abilities! This club provides people with a disability with more opportunities to participate and increase their overall physical activity levels", says Elaine Shea, SIDO Limerick Sports Partnership.
