The Tipperary Tandem pair of Peter Ryan and Sean Hahessy are on the home stretch.
They’re aiming to become the first tandem to complete the Race Around Ireland – a 2,150 kilometre ultra-cycling event which is ranked among the toughest endurance events in the world.
Peter, from Drombane and Carrick on Suir man Sean left Meath on Sunday and have been as far north as Malin Head and as far south as Mizen Head on their trek, getting just a couple of hours sleep each day. They are now just 160 km from the finish line ( need to check before 8)
