Dragged up with the forgotten shopping trolleys and rusty bicycles - Irish Examiner
Google Cycling news &bull Feb 20, 2012
You drag the bucket along the bottom of the sea, then bring it up to the surface to see if there's a scallop or two in there, among the tyres and wellies and other detritus. Every now and again, you may get lucky and bring up a whale (like John O'Donoghue). On the other hand, if you over-fish a particular area, you just end up with forgotten shopping trolleys and bicycles. Today, I can exclusively reveal that I am the rusty bicycle dragged up by the latest FOI. Fianna Fail's inestimable Deputy Eamon O'Cuiv has evidently decided to tow a… Full Story »

If you've stumbled upon any of my riding or written work on this website over the past few seasons then it shouldn't come as a surprise to you that I love my life here in the loops.

Daily routines must go on, distances must be traveled, and pre-race chaos must ensue. But, by and large, this is a week of waiting. I am not great at waiting. Rather than let phantom pains and panic get the best of me, I decided to stay busy this… Full Story »
