Ultra-cyclist Joe Barr will be passing through Tipperary later today as he bids to set a new world record.
He is attempting to cover 3,508 kilometres in seven days.
Joe set out from Malin Head at 4pm yesterday and passed through Borrisokane at around 5 this morning on his way to Mizen Head.
However he and his support crew decided to turn in Kanturk and take advantage of a tail wind.
Joe will be passing through the Premier County on a number of times over the coming days as he chases the world record.
Joe is raising money for the Cancer Fund for Children through his effort.
