Drude's Irish Challenge

Not content with cycling from John O'Groats to Land's End a few years back one of our posse is attempting to snag another headline over the coming weeks. This time he intends to crank out even more miles cycling around Ireland :o "Cycling in circles" - how Irish is that ? ;)


It seems that Drude needs such crazy challenges when a milestone birthday is looming. But as usual his achievement will help others with proceeds of his sponsorship going to Cancer related causes. Details can be found over at Drude.co.uk, we'll certainly be donating to help him achieve his goal.

You've gotta checkout his monster of a route, the schedule and accrued mileages give me the eebie-geebies. Hopefully, he'll be on quiet roads.

So if your near a pump dispensing some Irish black gold, sink a jar and reflect on the suffering he'll be inflicting on his undercarriage...
