Revolution: Two Irishmen To Cycle The World
This November, Simon Evans and Fearghal O’Nuallain will begin the first Irish circumnavigation of the globe by bicycle.
Fearghal and Simon
Long time friends Simon Evans and Fearghal O’Nuallain are setting off on 2nd November to be the first Irish men to circumnavigate the globe by bicycle. Last year we saw Tom Allen and Andy Welch leave the UK around this time to ‘Ride Earth‘ – their planned adventure has recently resumed, albeit on separate paths following an extended stay in Armenia. Tom is now on his way through Iran.
The journey for revolution is planned to cover 30,000km and cross 30 countries in 16 months. Their route will take them south through France and Spain before heading westwards across the Atlantic to South America. It’s taken three years of planning and training to get here and now the trip is about to commence. Simon and Feargal will be raising money for mental health charity Aware over the course of their journey.
You can join them on their first leg from Blackrock College, Dublin to Greystones, County Wicklow at 10am on 2nd November; or wish them well at their big send off dinner on 25th October – 8pm, Royal St. George Yacht Club, Dun Laoghaire.
