Kilkenny Advertiser, July 29, 2011.
Organisers of a major cross country charity bike fest are calling on biking enthusiasts to join them for an event that will aim to raise much-needed funds and awareness for The Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland.
The ‘Fifteen to One Motorbike Run’ will see bikers from 15 starting points around the country, culminate together at Kilkenny Castle at 11am on Saturday August 27.
The organisers have selected two charities as the beneficiaries of the event - The Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland and Team Hope. The aim is to raise vital funds for each of these charities by bringing bikers, biker buddies and enthusiasts alike together for what is guaranteed to be a fun and entertaining bike fest for the whole family.
Interested participants are asked to register in advance of the event on

The entry fee is €30, which includes automatic entry to the spectacular Bike Fest Show commencing in the magnificent Kilkenny Castle at 11am.
The Bike Fest
will exhibit classic and antique bikes from all over the country and participating bikers can also opt to display their own pride and joy in the show. Biking enthusiasts can ramble around, soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the show, have lunch or simply tuck into an ice-cream while supporting CFAI and Team Hope.
There will also be opportunities to win some great spot prizes including a brand new electric bike. At 3pm sharp, the more adventurous riders will set off on their bikes to Cork for a civic reception followed by an evening of top entertainment at a nominated city hotel - all included in the €30 registration fee.
