Team Geared Up

I am sorry this will not be the first Irish circumnavigation of the globe by bicycle. Michael O’Connor from Glenageary and Raheny did it in the late 1970’s! On August the 20th this year it will be the 30th anniversary of the start of my own bicycle trip around the world (15 months). I have given advice to many who were setting out on similar trips and have heard of many over the years but can’t remember their names! Best wishes to Fearghal and Simon. Tony Mangan.

Drawing our attention to Micheal O’Connor and your round the world cycle, Tony.

Both sound like epic adventures and truly impressive feats. Made all the more impressive by the fact that they were in the days before satellite phones, atm’s and the internet!

We’re currently updating our route page. And will be including a piece on previous Irish cycles.
