Our friends at RNLI Lough Derg are hosting their popular Lap of the Lake cycle this Saturday and there is still plenty of time for the cyclists among us, to register.

Cyclists can choose between a 120km route or a shorter 65km one.
The longer route will take participants on a full circuit of Lough Derg, giving entrants the chance to cycle through three counties, Tipperary, Clare and Galway.
The shorter route will take cyclists just beyond Killaloe to a turnaround point at Killaloe Sailing Club. The scenery along the way is unparalleled, providing cyclists with the opportunity to appreciate the magnificence of the lake and River Shannon.

Details on how to register are here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/rnli-lough-derg-charity-cycle-2026-tickets-1978833190341?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl&utm_id=97758_v0_s00_e0_tv2_a1demo0ec929vv&fbclid=IwY2xjawRuz0VleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFhT1cxSk55dmVvZDBJbWtqc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHqrv_Ep6UTnpuClh5xHhihsHaXio4kWEZkCxoxw4QbsIAnY2N7rR1YnsB46N_aem_LTvkuhAYEXiodUDs3R0LLg

Our lifeboat launched earlier today to assist a lone sailor who had fouled his rudder in a lobster pot. Thankfully our volunteer crew were able to free him from the tangle and he continued on his way. Click the link in the comments for the full story!!
