Up to 18 Recovery Road Cycling Clubs, which help individuals in their recovery journey from addiction, are set to be established in various locations following €500,000 commitment by a benefactor.
The first Road Recovery Cycle Club has already been very successful in Ballymun, and a second one - in Clondalkin - is being established now. The new club will be in Tus Nua, a community-based addiction support centre in Clondalkin.
The establishment of the Clubs has been supported by Liam Hogan and Tom Barber of the Addiction Recovery Cycling Group, which provides financial support to acquire road racing bikes and advice and training to prepare the members for road cycling. The Addiction Recovery Cycling Group has received a commitment of €500,000 from a benefactor who wishes to remain anonymous to enable the establishment of the Clubs.
