Kenny Seager's Irish Cycle Marathon 

For progress updates go to bottom of the page

We are very thrilled and grateful to our friend Kenny who has taken on the challenge to cycle the length of Ireland to raise important funds to help Trust PA in memory of PA. Kenny plays for the Keynsham Rugby Vets and rides his mountain bike with Bristol Freeride. The task is set to take place between Friday 2nd & Saturday 11th September 2011.

This is a gruelling feat to undertake, travelling approximately 500miles from Mizen Head County Cork in the south to Ireland's most northerly point in County Donegal. The web information states that this is a scenic route but looking on Google maps one just starts to appreciate the scale of this task with all manner of terraine.

The route will take in many national parks and forests plus hopfully many interesting sights and locations such as the famous Giant's Causeway.  

The trip will start from home in Keynsham, everyone travelling by van which will act as the backup to accommodate all equipment, tents, food, spares and bikes. The party will route to Ireland via the Pembroke to Rosslare car ferry and onward to the start at Mizen Head County Cork. As the full party will include nine riders, two vehicles will be used including 2 drivers who will accompany the party throughout as support/backup. Other riders with Kenny will include; Andy & Claire Hudson, Sean Nash, Tim Davies, Bill Heenan, Andy & Jon Walker and Tim Long.  

The party hope to arrive on Friday 9th (the last day riding) to enable them to catch the opening England World Cup game against Argentina on Saturday, while expecting to recuperate helped by a drop of the good stuff!

Everyone at Trust PA wishes the team a safe and successful journey.

We hope that all our friends & supporters will please generaously dig deep to make this task 100% successful.  Trust PA is raising funds to help make repair available to improve the lives of spinal cord injured & paralysed men, women & children.

The scenery is just wonderful and it really makes the ride worthwhile as we pass from one vista to another along the way. Text again tomorrow, cheers Kenny.
