32 County Honda Challenge:
On Thursday morning, October 26th, 30 riders on Honda 50’s/70’s/90’s and one Honda 90 trike left Bailieborough to take part in the 32 Counties Honda Challenge—which was to travel through the 32 counties on the island and in doing so to raise funds for ‘Bumbleance’ (The National Children’s Ambulance Service). It is hoped that the funds raised on this epic journey will go towards the purchase of a dedicated Children’s Ambulance for the North Eastern Region. The riders that took part were: Dwayne Lyng, Paddy Rodgers, Gary Gargan, Aidan Cunningham, Conor O’Reilly, Pauric Garvey, John Sheenan, Niall Mulligan (Mohill, Leitrim), Peter Crosby, John McDonald, Gordon Hall, Gary Soden, Brendan Morgan (Wexford), Gerry Martin, Brendan Byrne, Ronan Higgins, Damien Carroll, Paddy Smyth, Darren Gray, Shane Fox, Michael Smith, Paudie O’Reilly, Christopher Denning, Eoghan Smith, Eugene Clarke, Barry Connelly, Tom Heffernan, Matthew Donoghue, Paddy McGuinness and Tommy Martin. Drivers: Brendan Collins, Paul Heffernan and Martin Murray. Collectors: Sarah Fay, Majella Smith, Louise Collins, Aine Collins, Shauna Smith, Ruth Garvey, Laura Plunkett and Roisin McDonald. All the patrons and staff of ‘Kangley’s’, all who donated and anyone else who helped out in any way.
In their epic five-day journey the lads received terrific encouragement everywhere they passed through with people coming out and cheering them on. The weather was mostly kind to them and remarkably there were very few mechanical issues with their machinery. On Bank Holiday Monday, October 30th, hundreds of people lined Main St, to welcome the lads home. They were joined on the last few legs of the journey by other Honda 50 riders and there were nearly 80 bikes in the cavalcade that entered the town close to 4.00pm, creating a colourful, cheery and noisy spectacle, which is seldom seen nowadays. Local T.D Niamh Smyth welcomed the lads home and event organiser and participant, Gary Gargan also thanked all who had helped in organising and making the event such a success. The Funds raised from the event will be presented in due course and the question that everybody was asking on Monday evening was, ‘How are we going to surpass that next year’????
