Video Valentia 2 Valencia in aid of Down Syndrome Ireland

[dMaN24]

Just like all good idea’s this one was spawned over a cold beer with some good friends, why else would you even contemplate riding so many miles in the depths of winter??

For the past 6 years, Pole Position Travel.com have been sponsoring Down Syndrome Ireland’s annual around Ireland motorcycle challenge “Rev-up4DSI”, which to date has raised over €1.2million in much needed funds for the organisation. Pole Position Travel sponsor two Rev-up4DSI participants to attend the Valencia round of the Moto GP series as full VIP guests but they also host a VIP auction at the same round which is where this ‘brainwave’ occurred!

The initial idea was to have two of us ride from Dublin to Valencia but the lure of pairing Valentia Island and Valencia proved too much, so now we will depart from Dublin before visiting Valentia Island en route to Rosslare Harbour. The initial two riders have subsequently become three and with interests levels rising that too may expand (there is also a very real possibility of a camera crew joining us).
