Fair play to Mark. I'd find it tough to cycle every day but i'm sure it's a great experience.

It doesnt seem that look ago mark took off from Dublin

Today he passed 6000km on day 60 on the bike..! Great achievement..!

He should be landing in Roslare on friday morning.

If anyone is free to head out and cycle back to dublin with him, im sure he'd love to see familiar faces.

Also they are having a homecoming party on  Saturday at 20:00
Fitzpatrick's Castle Hotel, Killiney in Killiney. All invited.

Big thanks to everyone who supported our mini-enduro in aid of Marks charity.

We raised €400 which will go to temple St childrens hospital.
