A BIT ABOUTCYCLING SAFARISWe enlist the help of the fantastic teamat Cycling Safaris to plan our route andmanage all aspects of our cycle for theentire duration of the trip.

Cycling Safaris have been organising biketours in the west coast of Ireland since1989. Since then they have expanded theircycling holidays to cover the length andbreadth of Ireland as well as numerouslocations all over Europe. The Irish HospiceFoundation has been working with CyclingSafaris from the beginning of our annualcycling challenges back in 2009. This SanSebastian to Barcelona cycle will be our 9th

adventure with them and we are verypleased to have them on the team again.

Cycle Challenge 2014Join the Irish Hospice Foundation (IHF)for the challenge of a lifetime and takeon our 2014 Atlantic to Med Challenge,from San Sebastian to Barcelona!

Travel the Iberian Peninsula by bike taking in all thatNorthern Spain has to offer. This cycle route is a mix ofdays cycling beside the foothills of the Pyreenes toriding across the plains!

Departing from Dublin on Sunday 20th July, we will fly toBiarritz and travel to our hotel in San Sebastian. Thefollowing morning we will begin the first of five dayscycling through beautiful Basque style towns andvillages, before spending our second night in Pamplona,famous for its charm and the running of the bulls festival!

From here, we leave the city following the river Elorz andtake in some very scenic views of mountains beforefollowing the edge of the Embalse de Yesa, a welcoming large man-made lake.

Leaving Murillo de Gallego, the stunning verticalmonolith rock formations of the Mallos de Riglos giveway to a gentler terrain as we cross the steppe plains ofthe central lowlands of Aragon. This is a region withmany unique heritage sites from the middle ages thatare evident in the small towns and villages we cycle

through. Once again Pyrenean Mountains provide awonderful backdrop as we enter Catalonia.

As our destination approaches, we enjoy further changesin the landscape as forested roads and the Catalan pre-coastal range falls away to reveal the sparklingMediterranean and the striking architecture of Barcelona.

You will be cycling a total of 556km (ex. climbs) or 606km(incl. climbs) over the five days, while raising vital fundsfor the Irish Hospice Foundation’s work to ensure thateveryone in need has access to hospice care.

There will be options along the way for those who arekeen and capable cyclists to tackle the Pyreenes andtake on the Vuelta climb and the Coll de Jou, beforearriving into our final destination – the beautifulBarcelona.

You can then look out onto the Mediterranean and soakup the atmosphere as you contemplate the challengeyou have just achieved and conquered!

SAN SEBASTIAN

to BARCELONA

San Sebastian to Barcelona Cycle 2014The challenge is to ride from one coast to the other, essentially from San Sebastian on the Bay ofBiscay to Barcelona on the Mediterranean. Although not flat, the basic route sticks to the foothillsof the Pyrenees and does not seek out any great climbs. The route in fact mixes days of beingbeside the mountains to riding across the plains. As always, we do cater for thrill seekersamongst us and there are options for the more experienced cyclists looking for a greaterchallenge to tackle some hillier terrain in the Pyrenees. Although, perhaps notas well known as the Tour de France climbs, the Vuelta still offers an excitingcycling experience and features some challenging climbs!

ITINERARY

We set off from Dublin Airportfor the short flight to Biarritz. On arrival you will be collectedfrom the airport and transfered(1hr 25mins) to our hotel in SanSebastian by coach. You will bereunited with your bike at thehotel as all bikes will have been shipped from Dublin by CyclingSafaris. Known as Donostia in Basque, San Sebastian isprobably one of the most wonderful cities in Europe. Thefabulous Playa de la Concha Beach sweeps around in a curveseparated from the lush surrounding countryside by acosmopolitan old town. It is in the old town that the famouslocal Pintxo can be tried.

A challenging day ahead as weleave sea level and follow the rioUrumea into the surroundinghills passing the Parque Naturalde Aiako Harria where pine treesof the park offer passer-by’ssome cool shade. Those lookingfor some optional afternoon climbs can take on El Hachueta,from the Vuelta at 12km long and an average gradient of 7.4%. Our resting place that evening is Pamplona. It is known theworld over for its running of the bulls festival. But once themadness of San Fermins is over then Pamplona is a charmingcity with great food and friendly people. It is the first main cityon the Way of St James (Camino de Santiago) and has abeautiful medieval centre, historic citadel and many parks.

We leave the city following theriver Elorz. Along this road, wewill take in some beautifulmountainous scenery beforefollowing the edge of theEmbalse de Yesa, a large manmade lake. Our route then headsthrough the village of Murrilo offering great views of thespectacular conglomerate rock formations of the Mallos deRiglos.

We at the Irish Hospice Foundation (IHF) need your help to ensurethat everyone has access to hospice care when and where they needit. We believe that this is a right. However, the reality is quitedifferent. Sadly, access to hospice services in Ireland today largelydepends on where you live, and your illness. We are working tochange this and we can’t do it without your help – but together wecan do it.

This July (20th – 26th), cycle across Spain from ocean to sea (SanSebastian to Barcelona), all the while raising vital funds for the IHF’sNurses for Night Care service.

Quite often people die in a setting that is not their first choice.Currently 66% of us would choose to die at home if given a

choice, but the truth is that only 25% of us actually do so at

present.

We are trying to change this!

The IHF’s Nurses for Night Care is a free service that providesnight time nursing care in the home to people with diseasesother than cancer who are at the end of their lives. This serviceenables more people to fulfil their wish to die at home withdignity.

Nurses for Night Care works across Ireland, reaching every county.

The Nurses for Night Care service facilitates, where possible,people’s choice to die at home. Night time can be a vulnerable timefor people who are at the end of life and families, with fewer servicesavailable to them. But our service maintains the continuity of carethat this person has experienced during the day, supported by thepalliative home care team and surrounded by family.

These nurses stay in the home throughout the night, providingnursing care, practical support and reassurance to both the personwith the life limiting disease and their family. The service is a verysignificant support in providing respite for families, as they in turncare for their loved one at what can be a very difficult time.

The demand for this service is increasing yearly, and in order to fundthe service in 2014 we must raise €410,000! With your help we cancontinue to increase our fundraising and reach our target for this vitalprogramme.

By signing up for the San Sebastian to Barcelona cycle you can helpus make a difference.

Each day spent in the saddle will mean at least one night of comfortand reassurance for a those nearing the end of life and their family.The amount raised by each cyclist (after costs) will fund six nights ofnight time care.

Find out the difference you can make in one week…
