Niall enjoy all 715ish km's

I hope the location finder we put together works ok. Don't forget to attach the umbrella to the handlebars on sunny days as this should help you view the screen a little easier. I'll be listening on the wireless for updates of your cycle.

For those wondering what we put together, have a look below, but i want you to know that NASA are currently doing the wind drag calculations and reckon twas a stroke of genius using a wicker basket, to allow the wind through it. We are hoping to patent it, so no robbing of our idea now!

Good luck Niall. Don't need to tell you to enjoy it as that's a given .

As for that wicker basket Burke if you ever turn up at a tri with that we're getting a divorce :lol:
I believe they were in fashion back in '87 & '88 when Galway last won Liam ;)

Strap a satellite dish to the seat post to boost the GPS signal ;)
Make sure it's one of those rusty perforated Sky dishes to cut down on drag - you'll be hang gliding with one of those Polish dishes!
Have a safe trip.
