Foreword Dany: ” A week of joy and sadness, that’s life…my apoligies for the lack of reports in the last week, just a rollercoaster of emotions, seeing some off the girls and lads I choose this year getting on the podium, and panic at the motorway (M7) but made the TT on Thursday just on time, while saving some petrol with getting a lift of a recovery van to deliver me in Nenagh…tens of phonecalls followed to get me sorted, getting a lift after the TT to Limerick to collect a hired car, this from a gentleman called Robert of Nort Tipp Wheelers (some yoke it was…a new Ford Puma Hybrid) and continue my road trip in style to my B&B in Newcastle West (The Orchard, Limerick road) The owner Eileen stayed up to greet us just after midnight, and I landed in heaven, home made bread, jams, yougurt, cheeses in the morning, lunch pakkets (ham off the bone and home made cheese sarnies) and this for 3 days in a row…highly recomended place to stay in beautifull surroundings of the country at very reasonable prices…Our sincere thanks for all the care and kind words towards us all weekend, very much appreciated such kindness towards Jerome, my brother in law and myself off-course, also Caroline Kerley for her mad company on the course, and bringing me home after delivering the hired yoke in Drogheda yesterday, buying my lunch in Blackrock on the way home, and meeting my wife Maggie for the first time…now trying to get a replacement car as fully booked for July and August as commentator, and will make sure I can keep my appointments, this my main concern for the moment…as it comes on the wrong time, but such things always do…but giving up is not in my nature, and with such friendship and care received from the Irish cycling fraternity, it gives me a big boost…thank you all!!
