THEY came from all over the country and beyond for another amazing Ring of Kerry Cycle.

Thousands of cyclists set off in waves from Mission Road, Killarney, on Saturday morning, from first timers to veterans of the charity event which is now in its 31st year.

The biggest one day charity fundraising event in Munster attracted over 11,000 cyclists to tackle the 112 mile route and they’re sure to add greatly to the €8.4m already raised for charity in the event’s history.

The cyclists met with mixed weather conditions but arrived back safely to enjoy post-event entertainment and refreshments in the New Street car-park.

Well done to all.
