"At times today especially when pelted by sleety hail showers with head and crosswinds while passing lovely, cosy, warm inviting cafes and pubs, the only thing that kept us going was Tilara ....... and also the dogged determination of the b*tch alongside us". Beautifully described by Karen Deenihan of the De Ronde van Cork CC Ladies team. A huge THANK YOU to all the riders who braved the elements today. It really was a tough day on the bike. Thankfully everyone got around the Earthquake Route safely and I can stop worrying. EQ17 will go down as another great event. It was a huge team effort and thank you to the Garda, Medical Team, Drivers, Marshals, Timekeepers and road crew. It couldn't happen without you, Super effort. To everyone who, baked, prepared and served the food and drinks today, you were absolutely amazing. Cully&Sully, your soup was extremely popular and we hope you have a new target market, cold and very wet cyclists. This event relies on some very generous sponsors to which we are extremely grateful. Cafe Velo, Orihuela Costa Cycling, VeloRevolution, Cully&Sully, Mill Grill, Quik Shop and the O'Shea family Midleton. Richard Keating of Youghal CC was the lucky winner of the trip for two to the Orihuela Costa Cycling Camp, i'm certain it will be much warmer than today. Thankyou Noel O'Mahony. To Team Tilara, we hope you achieve your target quickly. You are very motivated and the campaign has really started now. Tilara, you are a gorgeous little girl and we trust your operation will be a big success and you will be pain free. The EQ Team. Ps, who is the dogged B*tch in the photo?
