Night Rider is a sportif that takes place at night along the quiet roads of Connemara. Starting just before sunset you will cycle into the darkness. There are 2 distances to choose from depending on your fitness, both of which start at Killary Adventure Centre in Leenane, overlooking Killary Fjord. Both journeys will bring you through the Inagh valley to Clifden and back to Killary along different routes.
This is not a race but a journey. You will have time to enjoy the night time quiet and the light from the moon and stars will help guide your way. This is an ideal goal to kickstart your cycling for the year or to push you that little bit further. Refreshment stops will be provided along the way.The route is entirely on sealed roads

UNIQUE MOONLIGHT CYCLE THROUGH CONNEMARA – Night Rider Sportif – 28th April 2018
The famous Oscar Wilde quoted “Yes, I am a dreamer, for a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight” and Killary Gaelforce would totally agree……..
The Night Rider Sportif takes place under a spring-time full moon on the 28th of April 2018
2018 is the third year if the unique event. The idea was born from one of our race director’s love or night time cycling.
Shane Young says: “With a busy work schedule it is sometimes difficult to get our cycling in daylight – but cycling at night brings a new experience where your senses are heightened and an appreciation of the peace and quiet is realised. And where better to enhance the senses than a spring night in Connemara?”
This Sportif suits all levels of cyclist from the pro cyclists to the beginners with a choice of 3 spectacular looped courses from – 100km, 60km and new for 2018 a 34km route. Though it is a non competitive event it is timed from start to finish.
The event starts and finishes at the Killary Adventure Centre which is situated along the stunning Killary Fjord.
On this cycle you will take in the stunning scenery of the tranquil Inagh Valley and on into Clifden, then along the spectacular Sky Road, the seaside villages of Cleggan and Tully Cross. All the while surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the moonlight on the Atlantic Ocean. Refreshment stops will be provided along the way.
For anyone who loves to cycle then this is a dream night out – cycling with kindred spirits into the sunset.
