Miles to go before I sleep

The Race Around Ireland is a non-stop 2200 km bicycle race that circumnavigates the island of Ireland anti-clockwise. It is held every year at the start of September and can be approached as a solo competitor as a team of two four or eight. In January of 2014 a group of cyclists from Maynooth Students for Charity Cycling Club decided to take on the challenge. They were told it was the toughest endurance race in Europe. This is the story as told through the recollections of the participants of how a bunch of Average Joes conquered the race and set a new Irish record time. It is a story of great adventure of beating the odds of battling inner demons and exceeding expectations. Ultimately it is a story of teamwork and lifelong friendship because that's what won the race.
