THERE was a good turnout in Killarney on Saturday as hundreds of cyclists took part in the ‘Wrong Way Round’ cycle.
Now in its fourth year there were two routes are on offer in the event which supports the Donal Walsh Livelife Foundation.
Cyclists departed from the Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney on the Wrong Way Round and tackled Molls Gap before heading for the scenic South West via Sneem. From there on, the route is familiar passing Waterville, Cahersiveen, Glenbeigh and Killorglin.

For those who fancied a greater challenge, there was ‘The Hard Way Round’ taking a right for Ballaghbeama through the heart of Kerry to Ballaghoisin, a detour around the stunning Skellig Ring before rejoining the main troop on the road to Cahersiveen.
They all finished back at The Gleneagle Hotel where a barbecue and live entertainment was waiting for them. Scroll down for photos…
