Well, slightly saddle sore  we returned to the Phoenix park amid much fanfare and garda escort yesterday.
It was a great charity run and already in excess of €300,000 has been raised with more to follow. We did approx 1300kms in the end.Over 150 bikes ended up taking part and despite some unbelievably bad weather on Sunday morning , the remainder was glorious.
Great roads around N.Ireland and Donegal, and stunning scenery.

The planned celebrations at Joes' Pub in Ballymoney were subdued as a local Irish  rider, Martin Finnegan, died in a tragic accident while racing over the weekend. He himself gave his time and name to many Down Syndrome Ireland events (including the milk float from Craggy Island racing around Mondello Park which you might have seen on the news).Our thoughts are all with his family at this time.
