Tributes have been paid to Donegal cyclist Adrian Mullan who was killed following a collision with a vehicle while out training near his home on Saturday.
The father of three children was hit by a van on the Inishowen peninsula a little after 9am.
A spokesperson for the club he was a member of, Foyle CC, said he was a “much loved gentleman and often took on charity events to raise funds.
“Most recently, he organised a two-day charity ride of two laps of the Inishowen 100.
“He recently completed the London to Paris ride with a large number of local cyclists in aid of the Foyle Hospice.”
