g thank you for the support he received from the Gary Kelly Centre - an invaluable local support service.

We did it! Some 18 brave souls set off from the Shannon at 9am this morning and cycled the 145km to the Boyne - and to a great reception at the Gary Kelly Cancer Support Centre. We had 90km in perfect cycling weather followed by 55km in some very heavy, cold rain. With just two punctures on route among the group all went very well. Thank you to all the cyclists who took part and to the volunteers who supported them all the way. We raised some funds for a very worthy cause. Enda would be proud... 🚴🏼‍♀️🚴🏽
