On the eve of the unvailing of the memorial plaque for Gabriel (Gaybo) Howard in Stamullen Village tomorrow (Sat 21st Oct 14:30pm) Maybe the younger ones don’t know who he was, and what he meant to the Irish Cycling Fraternity…here a interview I done in 2015 with Gaybo, who explains his life in cycling, his love for his wife Kate, and his beloved Ras…A legend we all miss very much, RIP Gaybo

The gift of the gab…Gaybo must have kissed the Blarney Stone a few times, a scheduled 3 minute interview became nearly a quarter of an hour, when you talk to such stalward, time is not important any more…this video interview is not edited, as we never do!! This was in Hilltown in the Mournes, during an open race hosted by Newry Wheelers,

His widow Kate told social media: ONE FINAL TRIBUTE TO GAYBO! An open invitation to one and all to attend the unveiling of a Memorial Plaque for Gaybo in Stamullen on Saturday 21st October at 2:30pm. Gaybo touched the lives of so many people through cycling clubs countrywide, his beloved Stamullen Community along with decades of work & friendship with the Farmers in Ireland. If you are free to come to Stamullen and witness this final tribute to Gaybo, it will be lovely to see you and you will be most welcome. Cycling clubs/members attending might consider wearing their club jerseys, weather permitting. Please pass on word to your cycling friends as we would love to see as many clubs as possible represented on the day. Please share, Thanks, Kate Howard.
