    Bought my first bike in 25 years yesterday. Cycled out the Lee Fields in Cork back in again, down the Mardyke and into town. Sipping a coffee now and back again in a few minutes. Such a feeling of having the wind in your face!

    Hi fellow 2 wheelers!!!

    But before doing that upgrade the groupset and wheels on your current bike.

    Congrats Loire, check out the path going from the Atlantic pond around Mahon and Blackrock observatory. It also links with the Passage West path and can take you to Cobh via the ferry.

    That's the plan for next Sunday. The ole lad (who's as fit as a fiddle) has a bike and we're going to meet in the marina!
