Great to have some photographer’s you can rely on when you can not be somewhere or having other commitments, running a website on your own is difficult, and need all the help I can get from our guest photographers…lucky enough I have the best of the Irish cycling paparazzi to help me out in times like this. So many I have to thank and you know who you are. Paul Hannigan is a well-known volunteer and cycling photographer from Banbridge, the daddy of the Mascot Barney of his beloved club Banbridge CC and married to Toni who is a “devil do it all” in the County Down Club. Like Gerry Beggs, a big supporter of the para-cycling world and both traveled to Newcastle West to support the amazing athletes. Here a few photos accompanying the results to give it a bit of colour so to speak. So well done to all, you maybe don’t get the exposure able athletes getting, but I try to do my bit to highlight the efforts and dedication you all have. (Maith thú go léir, b’fhéidir nach bhfaigheann tú na lúthchleasaithe cumasacha nochtaithe, ach déanaim iarracht mo chuid a dhéanamh chun aird a tharraingt ar na hiarrachtaí agus an dúthracht atá agat go léir)
