Roscommon native to complete Ancient East charity cycle today

Now in its sixth year the ultra cycle has raised almost 280,000 euro for local and national causes. 

A Roscommon native who’s cycling the 1,100km ancient east route for three local charities will finish his mammoth challenge later today. 

Niall McGauran is a member of the ultra cyclists who this week have been pedaling from Derry to Kinsale in just four days. 

The group hope to raise over 50,000 euro for Mayo/Roscommon Hospice, turn2me.ie and Hooves for Hospice, a campaign which is raising funds for the planned building of the midlands regional hospice.
