NOW that we’re pretty much over Christmas and into the new year, many people are starting to think about getting fitter and healthier.
While national walk day is on Saturday, if you’re feeling a bit more energetic then why not hop on your bike instead for the Jimmy Duffy Memorial Cycle.
The event takes place at 11:00am this Saturday morning from St. Pats GAA Club, Blennerville. Jimmy Duffy, who lived in Blennerville all his life, was a fine musician and avid cyclist.
