Over the last number of years, we have worked closely with the Resevoir Cogs cycle club, and have marshalled several of their very successful, Reservoir Dog Sportive events, it has been great to be involved. Every year after the event Resevoir Cogs donate proceeds from the event to local voluntary bodies and they have raised in excess of €90,000 to support many of the local voluntary bodies, who could not continue to exist without this amazing support. A fantastic achievement. The event moved to a sustainable and environmentally friendly version since 2019 and this continued like this. All support vehicles on the event were electric and sponsored by Nissan Ireland. Biodegradable & Compostable Cups were used for all teas/coffees which were then collected and broken down for composting after the event, in our local composting heaps. No plastic water bottles were used during the event, instead water was provided from large pre-filled tankers to minimise waste and reduce plastic bottle usage by 100%. All waste from the event was segregated and recycled where possible, or taken to compost, with landfill the last resort. Thankfully due to the greening of the event, there was minimal waste and indeed minimal recycling required at the end of the event. Any leftover food non-perishable food stuffs were donated locally. Participants were encouraged to leave no trace on the event route. Thank you very much!!!
