Update from Base Camp…
Ian here at base camp,
News has filtered through that the lads are enjoying an early night after their second days cycle. Todays cycle was a bit thougher than yesterday though it was shorter. Legs were tired and energy was seriously depleted as they made their way from Dundalk to Castlewellan Co. Down.
Sadly our dad didn't join Mark and Jay on the cycle, he chose to be support driver on todays leg and let Lesley be navigator. However they did have company, Rory joined up with them after a leisurely sailing lesson yesterday he drove up to Dundalk to take part in todays cycle.
So, at the end of todays cycle, Mark and Jay have covered just over 85 miles, putting them near the halfway mark of the journey. And a quick update on the donations, we are currently up to £4,380.00, so getting there!
We have photos to follow and some video clips of the lads in action so check back for updates soon.

First leg of the cycle!
From Ian (reporting from base camp)
So Mark and Jay arrived in Ireland at 8 on Friday night. They got home and after reassembling the bikes had a relaxing evening with dinner and a few drinks to build up energy levels for the next day.
After an early(ish) night they set off at the rather unforgiving time of 8 am on Saturday morning. For the first day my dad was the pace-setter on his racer, while support driver Lesley with my mother were on backup. After a though couple of hours (especially the last 10 k or so) the report filtered in that they had finally made it into Dundalk where they were to be greeted by the local representatives of Muscular Dystrophy. After dinner, the pub was calling and while there, they managed to raise another €500 in donations.
But by now, with wobbly legs and energy levels depleted, it was time to hit the sack for a good nights sleep to prepare for Sundays cycle.
Well done fellas. Keep it up!
