About

On the 26th June 1955, Isabel Woods set out on a 386 mile cycle from Mizen Head to Fair Head, with the aim of capturing the record for cycling from one end of Ireland to the other. She completed the journey in 23 hours and 3 minutes and held the record until 1st July 2007. A number of Isabel's relatives will repeat the journey but due to our ages, levels of fitness etc. plan to make the journey over a number of days, finishing on 27 June 2015 the 60th anniversary of the original trip. The riders are: Sheena Woods; David Surplus; Norah Crammond; Penny & James Bulley; Brian Blythe & Michael Woods
