On the Road again.23 year old Conrad McCullough from Dysart, a member of the Burren Cycling Club, of which his mother and father, Breda and Brendan, are also members, cycled the Ring of Kerry for the ninth year last June. His most recent cycling exploit was the Tour de Munster charity cycle, where he joined the cycle on the route between Killaloe and Kilrush in the company of cycling legend, Sean Kelly and 120 cyclists, raising funds for Down Syndrome. He was supported by three members of The Burren Cycling Club and is an inspiration - particularly to families who have children with Down Syndrome, showing them that with the right support this condition need not limit them.
