By It’s been two weeks since we rolled into Nice, having completed over 715km in 6 days. And I’m still buzzing! And it was every bit as good as I had hoped it would, and more! Don’t get me wrong, I hurt at times, and by Friday my quads were just
Final Week Before Paris2Nice – Training
As a follow up to the last post, in this one I’m going to cover off some of the training I’ve done since the Wicklow 100. As I mentioned before, I’m at about 2800km so far for the year. Certainly not epic by any stretch, but given we’ve 2 small
Final Week Before Paris2Nice – Goals
With less than a week to go (I’m writing this on Sunday night, and the flight to Paris is Friday), I just wanted to pick up the cadence of a few blogs about the experience. In particular, my last Paris2Nice blog was about 5 weeks ago, and at that, it

My Experience at the 2018 Wicklow 100
Early in the planning for Paris2Nice, the emails, facebook groups and WhatsApp groups all listed the Wicklow 100 as a key checkpoint along the training plan for those looking at doing P2N for the first time, so rather naively I signed up, my rationale was that such a hard event
Paris2Nice 2018 – The Beginning
January 10th, 2018, and I’m in the car, coming home from work. It’s usually when I get my (arguably) best thinking done. On this particular day, for no particular reason, I have an urge to re-commit to cycling and losing weight. Don’t know why, but it’s definitely there. I get
New Beginning
7 years ago I started a blog called “All About the Triple”, with a view to documenting my introduction to cycling, culminating in cycling Mizen to Malin over the course of a week. While I had the best intentions to use that as a springboard, the intervening years have been
Mizen to Malin Day 7: Letterkenny to Malin Head
Now that there was a car available, we made a decision (without much hesitation in fairness), to ditch the bags for the last day. Given that we had about 400 miles in the legs and wanted to tackle the Gap of Mamore it was a fairly wise decision. Although the
Mizen to Malin Day 6: Ballyshannon to Letterkenny
Our original plan had been to cycle from Ballyshannon past Letterkenny, just to leave us with a short day at the end, (circa 45 miles or so). But since Martin O’C was driving back up from Limerick to cycle the last day with us, we decided to have an easy
Mizen to Malin Day 5: Claremorris to Ballyshannon
On paper a long day, and this was made a lot longer by a headwind that was present for about 60 miles. Understandably after the previous night, there was a slow start in the morning, but a very heavy shower (10 minutes of absolutely torrential rain), made this a struggle.
