Donegal elite endurance cyclist, Joe Barr, has just announced his latest challenge.
The World Ultra-Endurance Cycling Team member will attempt to cycle SIX lengths of Ireland, from tip to tip!
“We don’t know if it’s possible, but we’re going to give it our best,” he posted on his Twitter account.
“The ride, now that can be legendary….and that is exactly why we have chosen the course we have,” he added.
“A record is a number that will always be broken.”
Back in July 2020, Barr overcame sometimes-treacherous conditions to shatter his own Malin-Mizen-Malin record.
The 63-year-old Newtowncunningham native, who now lives in Eglinton, cycled from Malin to Mizen, and back to Malin, in 44 hours and 15 minutes!
The Malin-Mizen-Malin ride is an astonishing 738 miles.
He has also won the Race Around Ireland twice and completed the gruelling Race Across America.
