Thursday 18th
My cycle today was
quiet tough. I have recently started running and so after my little trot around
the Regional Park I went for a cycle to loosen out the legs.

My Cycle on Friday was very
recreational. I was at home with the kids all day and so the only outlet I got
was to go to the shop for milk. I didn’t go to my closest shop though just to
get a little spin on the bike.

Saturday 20th
I was working on Saturday
morning at the inaugural Run 4 Fun organised by Cork Sports Partnership in
Blarney, I was a little tired so in the afternoon I took the three boys on a
little spin around the Regional Park. We stopped for a little picnic which we
needed because the weather was very hot….after throwing a few stones in the
weir hopped back on the bikes.
Editor's Footnote:
Ballincollig Regional Park has both a permanent orienteering trail and walking trails. Closing time in June, July and August is 9pm. To get to the Regional Park (western end) go to the roundabout at the west end of Ballincollig town and take the Inniscarra Road. About half a mile along the road, just before the Inniscarra Bridge, on your right, you will see the entrance for the park.

Sunday 21st
On Sunday morning, I told the
boys that I was bringing Daddy for a cycle as his Father’s Day present. They
were not happy that Mom and Dad were going on a cycle, they soon forgot about
it when my friend arrived to bring them to Gaelic Football Training. So off we headed on
a glorious sunny morning.
We had three hours of freedom and thoroughly enjoyed
every minute of it. On the return section from Macroom we again met two
cyclists needing assistance, so we hopped off our bikes, pumped up a tyre and
back on the road again. These ladies were also using spoons as their bicycle
tools. Just as we got back on the road the cyclists from Kanturk Cycling Club
whizzed by us at a great speed as they were taking part in the Coachford
Cycling Club sportif. We had a great spin and finished the day by a visit to
the Cork Summer Show with the boys. Great day…..

Eithne finishes by saying:
So at the end of Bike week, I
managed to get out on my bike seven out of the eight days so I’m delighted with
this. I know my blogging was not so frequent but I thoroughly enjoyed the week.
Fair play to all the organisations involved….
