Ryan Hunter wins Donegal Ultra 222, Darren McGlinchey takes 333 crown


Hunter was the first finisher in the Ultra 222, while McGlinchey led the 333 group home
Donegal native Ryan Hunter was the winner of the Donegal Ultra 222 on Saturday, while Darren McGlinchey was the victor in the 333.
Hunter was the first man home in the shortest of the three cycles, but a gruelling 222km across the county was a tough feat for the young cyclist from Errigal CC.
Gerard Gallagher was just behind, breaking the eight-hour mark by 29 seconds, while Brian O'Donnell was third in a time of 8:22.25.
In the 333, Darren McGlinchey took victory in the 333km event in 11 hours and five minutes, with Brendan Doherty finishing in second place.
In the 555, Rory Devlin is leading the way with plenty of racing still to come.
