What can you write about the legend that is Neil McConkey?
Neil has been cycling for Ulster and comic relief over the last few months, travelling from Belfast to Limerick, Dublin and now Twickenham on his bike. You can view his progress to Limerick here and Dublin here.
Through the three games Neil will be clocking up over 1000 miles on the bike in a fantastic effort to raise money for this worthy charity.
Just before he left Neil dropped us a wee mail …
Hi John
Just a few hours to go before I set off … I think the strain is beginning to tell! Huge thank you to all the individuals and companies who have already supported me.
It’s not like me but the thought did occur to me that if all of us who are travelling and all of us who are watching had just one less pint on Saturday… and gave the money to charity instead … we could not only celebrate an Ulster triumph but also celebrate raising dear knows how many tens of thousands of pounds!
There’s still plenty of time to help.

Neil also included a wee video with his latest update. Don’t know about the cycling but he’s definately booked a place as chanteuse on future FRU trips. Nice one Neil!
As Neil said – miss out on a pint this weekend and make a donation to Neil and Comic Relief here.
