Cyclists plan pole-to-pole charity cycle for the blind

A TEAM of cyclists plan to travel from the South Pole to the North Pole in less than a week in aid of Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind.

While the cyclists will have to keep a cool head, they are in fact really travelling from the South Pole Inn in Kerry to the North Pole pub in Donegal.

The team of 20 cyclists, including two visually impaired members on tandem bikes, will set off this Sunday to cover over 350km through Kerry, Clare, Galway, Mayo and Sligo. They will finish their pedalling in Donegal on Friday, June 4.
