Day 7. The final push.

The lads are back on the road and heading north once more towards Malin Head.

After hundreds of kilometres, sore legs, early starts, changing weather and countless hours in the saddle, they are now on the final stage of a truly remarkable journey.

Today the sun is shining, spirits are high, and the finish line is finally coming into view.

What they have achieved over the past week has been nothing short of incredible - all to raise awareness of organ donation and support the vital work of
the Irish Kidney Association.

If you haven't already, please consider supporting the team, sharing their story, or helping spread the message about the life-changing gift of organ donation.

One final push, lads.

Safe roads, strong legs, and enjoy every mile of it.

You've done yourselves, your families, your supporters, and everyone connected to this cause proud. ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ They did it!

Just four days ago, Seamy McDermott and Vinney Gillespie rolled out from Malin Head with a challenge that would test even the most seasoned cyclists.

Today, they reached Mizen Head.

An incredible achievement, not just in terms of the miles covered, but in the determination, resilience, and commitment it has taken to get there.

What makes it even more remarkable is that both men are cancer survivors, and Seamy is cycling with deep gratitude for the kidney transplant he received 24 years ago - a gift of life that he continues to honour with every turn of the pedals.

This journey is about much more than cycling. It is about hope.

It is about second chances.

It is about raising awareness and support for the Irish Kidney Association and the life-changing impact of organ donation.

Congratulations lads.

Donegal is proud of you.

Now enjoy the moment, take in the view from Ireland's most southerly point, and know that countless people are cheering you on.

Our evening rides were a bit hit and miss this week as life got in the way for lots of us on Thursday night. We started off well with a group of 7 putting in a lot of climbing and getting to see the Northern Lights from The Steeple!

Kudos to Eunan out flying the flag solo on Thursday evening for 25km in around the town and Drumboe Woods ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿšด

Saturday morning had the best of the weather for the week and the Stabiliser Group made the most of the conditions with 7 out for 40km taking in the usual pitstop at Dolans of Raphoe โ˜•

Sunday started wet and windy but a delayed start allowed Vinny and Enda to get in approximately 80km on another big climbing day topping 1000m. John Long had a mixup on the times but went out solo for 45km. Rumours of a Biddys pitstop can neither be confirmed nor denied...

Grainne and Niall have kept the Audax 100 streak going with both out this week on the East Donegal 100 route. Big kudos to Grainne who had a slashed tyre in St Johnston on Monday and had to DNF. She was back out again on Thursday and managed to complete in terrible wet and windy weather ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ
