Rev Up!
Charity Bike Run
RevUp is back again this year after a bit of time off due to the various lock downs and social distancing issues over the last two years. This year the event will kick off from Joe Duffy Motorrad.
The 2022 run takes place April 30th to May 2nd and will be the 15th run since the event began.
The event works as a navigation exercise with the initial points to ride given out in Finglas at the start of the first day. You simply follow the route sheet and ride to the first checkpoint where you get the second set of directions and so on. This allows you to leave when you want and ride at the pace you enjoy and in a group you’re happy to ride with.
Participants have to raise a minimum of €650 (and €500 for a pillion) and that includes the following: 1,000km mapped and scouted routes, luggage transfers, 2 nights accommodation in a 4 star hotel (breakfast & dinner included), breakdown services for the weekend and full support for the 3 days from Team RevUp.
The run is always well attended and this year looks like it will be no different with registration being limited to 100 bikes with or without pillions. The route is always kept a closely guarded secret with the details of how to get to the first checkpoint being given out at the dealership on the morning. At the first checkpoint details of the route to the second are given out and at the second the final stage which gets us to the hotel is supplied.
We're very much looking forward to getting on the road again and we're hoping you'll join us!

- Pinpoint navigation, not high speeds!
- Arrive early! Leave early! Avoid night-time travel!
- Start early each morning!
- Don’t waste time at or between CPs!
