2019 edition

The Reservoir Dog returns for a fifth edition on Sun 15-Sept-2019. Everything you loved about last year’s event – and more!

All funds raised are donated to charities to fund local environmental and community enhancement projects.

The Reservoir Dog Sportive is an environmentally sustainable event.

Leave no Trace.

The Reservoir Dog Sportive is a special event for the discerning Sportive rider.

Our 125km route traverses the valleys and passes across the Wicklow mountain massif. We ride along quiet roads with spectacular scenery and challenging climbs. As well as the road less travelled we have included some of the classic & tough bike climbs in Ireland.

Our 65km event takes in a scenic circuit of the Blessington Reservoir and introduces the rider to some hidden gems of roads.

Entry to The Reservoir Dog sportive is by ONLINE REGISTRATION only.

Places strictly limited to 400 places.

Register early to ensure your place.

Entrance fee is €35 (One day licence for the event will cost non- CI members an additional €5)

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR SPONSORS
