For any of the clubs brave souls (or mad cyclists) this years event was recorded as one of the wettest in the history of the event. A staggering 15mm of rain fell during the day. Thankfully, for most, it was a case of like cycling in the ocean and there were no serious accidents. Records show that almost 6,000 individuals signed up for the event, but only 3,500 made the journey to Kenmare. Of those who made the journey to the small town, just under 3,000 started and a staggering 1,500 people finished the arduous spin. For those that did, you’ll never forget what you did to earn that medal . . . well done. For everyone else, there’s always next year and with a bit of luck the sun will shine on the Cork/Kerry peninsula once more.
