Cycling 700km across IRELAND | Part 2

PART 2

Myself and two friends have decided to cycle from Malin Head (the most northernly place in Ireland), to Mizen Head (the most southernly place in Ireland) all in order to raise money for two charities.

Please Donate if you can:
Spinal Injuries Ireland https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/Dav…
Breast Cancer Research Institute https://breastcancerresearch.enthuse….

This is our first few days captured in a documentary style. Over these two short days we encountered punctures, falls and more.

I really thought this wouldn’t be tough, but I stand corrected!!! It certainly is! From big hills, to lots of rain and even full blown storms.

Cycling is no joke, and I now respect the pros more than ever.

I hope you enjoy part one of our journey, and stay tuned for the rest!
