Flipper Challenge

Whilst we travel this years course and in this Olympic year, we'll be testing the sporting prowess of our hosts. Last nights contestant, lovely Karen O'Thingymajig of the Bantry Bay Hotel managed 3 beer mats in the Irish flipper challenge and currently heads our leaderboard. Well done Karen! The convent will be proud.

We're off

Top of the morning to you. So the great day has finally arrived. Seven finely honed athletes and Dave "The Van" have arrived at Bantry base camp and are about to begin this years infeasable challenge. Back in December when we first coined this idea, most of us had never ridden a bike in anger but in about an hours time we'll embark on a 400 mile roadtrip that will take us from end to end of the Emerald Isle. Wish us luck and read all about it here, first, even before the Garda and The Bantry Bay Gazette.
