A quirky fund raising challenge, Dan & Ger towed & powered a fridge from Dublin to Galway in one run on a tandem. The idea came from a bet with friends, & Tony Hawks, the man who hitch hiked a fridge around Ireland. The 220km cycle took 11hrs 28mins to complete, the guys didn’t know what they got themselves into.. Radio Nova plugged the cycle during the week, Almax auto electrician hooked up the alternator & www.bikework.ie sponsored the cycle.
