THE Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle was another massive success on Saturday with around 4,500 setting off from early in the morning on the route.
Thankfully, the sun was shining for the most part and there was a carnival atmosphere at the Beech Road Car Park in Killarney as cyclists arrived home after the gruelling event.
One of them was Anthony ‘Anto’ Cronin, a teacher in CBS The Green, who participated on a penny farthing bicycle in aid of Kerry Mountain Rescue, one of the main beneficiaries of the 41st edition of the event.
The other main beneficiaries this year include Breakthrough Cancer Research, Comfort for Chemo, Critical – Emergency Medical Response and Valentia Community Hospital. Well done to all!…
