THE 35th year of the Ring Of Kerry Charity Cycle was surely one of the best as around 7,000 riders enjoyed some fantastic weather.
With many taking off at 7.30am — and some as early as 4.30am — it was dry and sunny with cyclists in high spirits as they tackled the 175km route with some amazing scenery to enjoy.
Among the participants were a number taking part on vintage bikes for the Ian O’Connell Trust, including Anthony Cronin, a teacher at CBS The Green who cycled a penny farthing.
There were great celebrations at the finish line in Beech Road car park with food and drink and live music from The Aftermath, Rhythm & Sticks and much more to enjoy. Well done to all who took part. Scroll down for photos by Valerie O’Sullivan…
