Mayo cycling team to compete at challenging event for first time
L to R: Charlie Kelly, Darragh Delaney, sponsor Eamon Marrey, Noel Kelly and Colin Loughney.
Mayo will proudly enter a four-person team in the upcoming Mondello 24-Hour Continuous Ultra Cycle Event for the first time.
Unlike the LE Mans 24hr in France, pedal power will replace horsepower at the Irish event in Kildare.
The "Wild Mayo Ultra" quartet consists of Darragh Delaney, Colin Loughney (Western Lakes CC), and Noel and Charlie Kelly (Westport Covey Wheelers). The manager is Noel Mulroy and the team is sponsored by Tyres R Us Westport and Marrey Bikes Ballinrobe.
The team aims to surpass the 800 km mark within 24 hours, completing over 250 laps on the 3.4 km international race track. This ambitious goal underscores their dedication and the robust support from their sponsors.
The event starts at 12 noon this Saturday, June 22, and will finish 24 hours later.
