New England in the Fall 2009

Our 2009 overseas bike challenge brings us to New England for five days of cycling over 350 miles. New England is the historic heart of modern America. Bounded on the north by Canada and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, New England offers immense diversity for all who visit. On this bike challenge lakes and rivers will greet you, towering forests, miles of white sand beaches, outstanding mountain ranges and quaint fishing villages will set the scene for this picturesque week of cycling. Pictured with the US Consul, Susan Elliott, BBC Presenter Stephen Nolan announces his participation in Co-operation Ireland's New England in the Fall Biking Challenge in September 2009. Stephen will cycle 350 miles over 5 days with the Co-operation Ireland team of 50 cyclists.
