On Wednesday, 17th June 2009, to mark the National Bike Week, South Dublin County Council and Wyeth BIOTECH co-hosted a 21km round trip Bike Challenge from SDCC Head Office to Wyeth BIOTECH Complex at Grange Castle and back.

Adelaide & Meath National Childrens Hospital and Tallaght IT participated in the challenge.

A group of about 20 cyclists, composed of employees of the four organisations took part in the cycling event which started at 12:30pm, with presentation of certificates of participation, by the Mayor of SDCC, Cllr. Marie Corr.

The Challenge had a Bicycle-mounted GARDA escort as it went from SDCC, onto the N81 to Grange Castle via the Outer Ring Road, and by 2:30pm everyone was safely back to the Council Offices.

All proceeds raised for this event will be donated to the SDCC Ethiopia Aid Project.
