He's currently doing the Race Around Ireland, I seen him and his support vehicle having a wee break just outside Kinsale this evening. He's some man.

That is some challenge, I was there last year and it was amazing to watch him hit that hill time after time. The decent is tricky too with two sharp turns, all at slow speed I'm sure but a nasty fall if concentration slips.
150 times in one go, wow, I'll make it down to cheer him on.

Donncha Cuttriss is remarkable. I remember reading about him before he cycled Patricks Hill 100 times last year thinking 'jeez, how?!' but he was like a machine on the day!

Wish him Very Best Wishes with cycling Patricks Hill 150 times in 2013. Who knows, maybe someone else might be capable enough of joining him this year

A few guys did laps with him last year. Saw his last 25 and have to say he looked very comfortable considering the enormity of the challenge.

Just after doing 39 laps with Donncha.

Not a bother on him. If in Cork call over and give him a shout. In aid of a lovely 5 yr old girl trying to get the chance to walk.

Great event, great cause, great man.

Jim Fitzpatrick of RAI also turned up for a few laps.

Oh and forgot to turn on strava ffs

It wasn't bad until his 75th and he just got faster. I was only holding him up so headed off.

Very decent fella, great outlook on life

He had 84 done at 1.30, reckons he'll finish at 7

He had 120 done an hour ago, some going!

39 is serious as well, I managed 3 laps and that was enough for me!

Great cause too, certainly puts things in perspective.

Felt bad so went in and joined him for 5. Pity its clashing with the stupid cork homecoming tho. I wish I had a compact! Phew! What a legend.

Stop! He is unreal. If I hadn't been working last night and tonight I would love to have done a lot more with him. He is a pure gent it was a pleasure to meet him. He said I was crazy with my standard crank........ I agree :-)
