About Us
The Sam McBride Trust’ was formed by Joe McBride and charity events organised by them have secured funds to help with the monument's payment. A JustGiving page allows members of the public to make their own donations towards the erection of the monument which will be greatly appreciated and received with many thanks from all involved. With that help Sam & Joe’s vision will be realised to be enjoyed by all and future generations will know of the century old Temple Motorcycle and athletic club and the fine men who once graced our roads and raced our roads.
When the iconic Temple crossroads became the Temple Roundabout, Sam & Joe McBride saw it as the perfect space to immortalise the history of The Temple 100 Road Race. A platform to display a monument of a motorbike and rider to honour the sport of motorcycle racing and the community brought together by their shared interest in it.
The Temple and surrounding area has been a home to motorbike racing since it hosted the first Temple 100 Road Race in 1921. The longest running and original true road race in Ireland, one of the oldest in the world, held annually thereafter until the turn of the millennium. The area will be forever associated with the race and the sport.
