    Have read Rough ride and loved the storys of the early days up the Wicklow mountains...kind of looking for more of that

    David Walsh's bio of Kelly is a great read, probably won't get it in the shops anymore though, maybe try the libraries.

    Something like these DVDs maybe?

    Never used the site but I like some of the older stuff they have. Might just get a nice DVD collection going.:D Damn you Google.

    The Rás – The Story Of Ireland’s Unique Bike Race

    Very very good read, no cynicism just great stories from different eras in Irish cycling. :)

    David Walsh, wrote one on Roche as well, "the Agony and the Ecstasy" I'd say it's out of print as well.

    They weren't before my time but I certainly didn't appreciate the achievements at the time. The Kelly book is very expensive, would be a good time to re-print with the cycling craze.

    Prefered Kelly. In the early/mid 90s Roche was whinging a lot about lack of recognition, seemed to think Ireland owed him a living.
