2016 Nire Valley Drop

Sunday 30th October 2016 Ballymacarbry Co. Waterford.

There are few places where you encounter nature in the raw. There are even fewer places where you and your bike can challenge nature knowing if you don’t tame nature it will tame you. In years to come when all is forgotten the whisper of the words “Nire Valley Drop” will get your adrenaline pumping as you smile and say “I was there too”.
