We've been busy sorting out all the bits and pieces for the cycle ride to Shannon to 'celebrate' the arrival of George W. Bush, the baddest president of them all, and we've finalised our route!

The cycle will be an enjoyable and worthwhile trip: this isn't an endurance test. The pace will be relaxed, and so will the people. The idea is to cycle for up to three hours in the morning, and three in the afternoon with a nice long lunch in the middle :-). Many days will be shorter than this, and we're pretty sure none will be longer and we'll be taking back roads for almost the entire journey. So join us!
We'll be camping along the way, in various different campsites and places provided by supportive groups and individuals.

So here's the route:

Saturday 19th Dublin to Straffan
Sunday 20th Straffan to Kildare town
Monday 21st Kildare to Portlaoise (Agaboe)
Tuesday 22nd Portlaoise to Roscrea
Wednesday 23rd Roscrea to Killaloe
Thursday 24th Killaloe to Peace Camp

Each time we come to a reasonably large town, we'll talk to people about the visit of Bush, distribute leaflets and try to encourage them to join the protest Demos in Shannon on Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th.
We'll also encourage them to join our entourage, even if only for a day or an afternoon, and add to the carnival atmosphere!

Go get involved, get active, healthy environmentally concious and alive!!!
Come along to the meeting next week (details to follow)
