    Looking from my office, I can see St. Anne Sreet, Duke Lane, and of course Kehoes pub.

    There appears to be 100 or so people having a few drinks, all with old style (1920's?) bicycles and straw hats etc

    Anyone have any idea what this is all about?

    Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?

    I read that post earlier alright, but I don;t see a penny farthing amongst the crowd. Could well be related though.


    Hmm, curiosity ensues...

    Bloomsday.

    The official Bloomsday is the 16th- I guess even the vintage cyclists need to warm up. :)

    May well be related to Bloomsday. (festival starts tomorrow).

    Each of the bikes had the company logo for whoever was cycling, and also an Irish Youth Foundation logo?

    Yep, IYF rally for Bloomsday

    Are they still there? Is it worth my walking over for a look?

    They just took off on their rally a couple of minutes ago. Not sure what route they're taking, might be on the link posted above.

    Pretty crazy looking at all those bikes with the straw hats, and all downing Guinness outside Kehoes lol

    It says they're doing a circular route to the Shelborne. Would love to see them. I'm just on the other side of Stephen's Green, going on lunch. Might have a stroll around and see it I come across them.

    Well if they're just going around the 'Green, I might pop out myself to have another look.

    Apparently its a sort of cycle pub crawl by reading the site! How they'll fit 150 into the Dawson Lounge I'll never know - hopefully they skip that one!
