Beara cycle sold out despite capacity increase

Straddling the only peninsula in Ireland to be shared by two counties, the Ring of Beara Cycle takes place this summer but it is already sold out.

A total of 3,500 have signed up for the event on the last Saturday in May. With supporters in toe, numbers on the Cork-Kerry peninsula that weekend will at least double that number.

The man behind the event is surprised at its appeal.
