Jigsaw, which is Ireland’s National Centre for Youth Mental Health, had 42 brave cyclists participating in their epic Giro D’Jigsaw.
This three day, eight stage, 470km charity cycle tour of Ireland took place from Friday September 29 to Sunday October 1 in a bid to raise raise vital funds to support young people with their mental health.
Each cyclist experienced life like a cycle pro, starting their journey from the rugged coastline of the Wild Atlantic Way in Galway to the gorgeous coast of the Irish Sea along Ireland’s Ancient East and back again.
On route they travelled through a number of Jigsaw Services, including Jigsaw Offaly.
To promote awareness of this incredible adventure, the team at Jigsaw Offaly held a Fixed Bike Cycle Challenge at The Bridge Centre Tullamore on Friday.
