Team Cycle-Ops are riding over 500 miles in three days on a relay format from Blarney Castle in the south west of Ireland to Dublin raising money for charity.
We leave Swansea for Cork by overnight ferry on 29th September 2010, and after kissing the Blarney stone we head west to the Atlantic coast over the 'Ring of Kerry to Kilarney. Heading west and north up the coast over the Cliffs of Moher to Galway. Our final day sees us cross back, south of Lough Derg to Dublin, and returning home to Holyhead.
All teams are made up of dedicated people rising to a physical challenge and raising money for good causes.
