2,000 cyclists expected for 25th Kerry fundraiser

UPWARDS of 2,000 cyclists, including some from the US, are expected to take part in one of Ireland’s major one-day charity events.

The 25th annual Ring of Kerry Cycle — an event that has so far raised €2.6 million for worthy causes — will be held on July 5.

Numerous voluntary organisations in Kerry have benefited from the cycle which last year raised €312,000 — up from €92,000 the year before.
