The Garda and PSNI  once again joined forces for the Sixth Annual PSNI/Garda Cycle and taken on the challenge of cycling 300 miles over three days in support of three charities, the Marie Keating Foundation, Co-operation Ireland and the Ulster Cancer Foundation. The bike tour took place on Wednesday 2nd September when the cyclists began at the Dromhall Hotel in Killarney and finished on Saturday 5th September.

Three members of Innisfree Wheelers participated in this challenging cycle for a very worthy cause. Con Lee, John Molloy and Willie O'Neill took part in the three day event under mixed weather conditions. The distance was no problem to our Innisfree boys as they had begun their training as far back as April with a arduous training stint in the Italian Mountains.

This years event in Kerry was a challenging bike ride, covering 300 miles and including the Ring of Kerry, The Dingle Peninsula, Killarney Valley and the Beara Peninsula.  Kerry, one of the most scenic counties in Ireland, is often referred to as The Kingdom, as it is believed to be the closest thing to heaven on earth. 

Cyclists had to raise a minimum target sponsorship of 875 Euro/700 Stg for the three worthy charities.  Included was entry to the bike ride, bed and breakfast hotel accommodation and evening meals for four nights with lunches supplied on the road, support vehicles and full backup services.
