As a completely voluntary organisation, Mayo Pink Ribbon depends on it’s community of volunteers throughout the county. These are the people who welcome cyclists at registration, who offer on road support, who stand in towns at bucket collections, who offer refreshments to cyclists along the way, the people who wave and cheer and encourage. It is because of these people that the Mayo Pink Ribbon charity Cycle is known as the friendliest cycle!
