He did it!
We are extremely proud to say David has completed his Wild Atlantic Way Cycle Challenge. After 20 days in the saddle he arrived in Muff, Co. Donegal to be welcomed by Holly and a very well deserved bottle of Champagne. David’s epic cycle started at Kinsale, Co. Cork and followed the beautiful Wild Atlantic Way for 2195 km along steep coastal roads, twisting mountain climbs and welcoming towns and villages not forgetting extreme gales and storms. Click on the links below to see photos and videos documenting his journey.

David now has 3 days to go to complete this epic challenge. Monies raised currently stand at an incredible £6780.00 for Breast Cancer Now, 40-tude and Macmillan Cancer Support.
David has battled along the Wild Atlantic Way with its dramatic scenery and eye watering headwinds competing with the best of the Irish weather including Storm Ali. David’s biggest challenge however is that he is doing this as a solo cyclist. Unfortunately the event was cancelled a few weeks before the starting date but David decided to continue the challenge under his own steam, the ultimate in mental and physical endurance.
Please continue to support David and follow his journey on Facebook.
