Hello from Kilkennny

[Wantok]

Hi all. My name is Brendan and I've been cycling on and off for a few years now. I have a Planet X Pro Carbon and a Giant XTC Mountie. I work overseas a lot so consistency is an problem for me.

Looks like a great site and I look forward to viewing and posting here, plus, I like cake ;-)

friend of mine wrote a song about Kilkenny and his time there. Google Marble City Bar by Jackie Leven, especially the live version.

Welcome brendan

Haha Marble City Bar, I err, know it by reputation lol (looks for the 'shame' emote). Aye, Kilkenny is a good spot and great cycling country. Sean Kelly honed his skills not to far away in Carrick. I haven't done any Sportives yet but hope to get an autumn one under my belt if I'm still here. I'm currently doing about 20 miles a day and the only problem I've had are painful toes!!

Cheers Heigue'r, not going to the match as I'm watching the golf and going on a long spin 1st thing. Wifey son & daughter are all going. I think it'll be a day of liquid carbs for me
