Cycle for Humanity - On 27 June 2005, Oisin Prendiville began a 4000KM cycle around the coast og Ireland. The Cycle for Humanity plays a major role in a fundrasing effort to support the work of Habitat for Humanity. Oisin is a member of an Irish team of volunteers who will travel to Chile in September to build houses on the Global Village programme. A Fundraising Event, in aid of: Habitat for Humanity Ireland, and Global Village...and generously supported by CycleWays.com
Countdown: 2 Days (25 June)
Collected the bike this afternoon - great stuff - Ian, the manager at CycleWays, gave me some sound advice RE cycling technique, what to eat etc etc and everyone was really helpful getting the bike set up and adjusted. Was there for a few hours getting it all sorted. Francis, who works there, may even join me on the road at some point, which would be fun.

Took a short spin around Phoenix Park while waiting for my train to Limerick. Have the click-in pedals which take a bit of getting used to but definitely make for a better cycle. In Limerick the pedals got the better of me - I forgot I was clicked in and toppled slowly over when I slowed down at a traffic light! Live and learn! [write a comment]
