Part one, Belfast to Dublin, Dublin Ferry to Holyhead, 2 nights in Home Farm camp site. We then visited Beaumaris castle. Nice hidden gem of Wales. Excellent camp site at Home Farm, 2 night did not do it justice. With the weather being mid 20's, perhaps to warm, for me being Ginger. https://youtu.be/Xm9Qpq6GGxs

Training in the Sand For Koksjide
2 years I rode the cyclocross World Cup in Belgium Koksjide. This course has a lot of sand. I did a few spins in the sand before hand but this wasn’t enough.

Throwback: Racing in Belgium 2015 (Hasselt & Koksijde)
In 2005 Kinning Cycles & I ventured to Belguim. The Homeland of cycling, never mind cyclocross. I was the only rider to race as another club member pulled out at the last moment. This passion funded from racing the World Cup the year before at Miltion Keynes. I took on GP Hasselt, part of the … Continue reading Throwback: Racing in Belgium 2015 (Hasselt & Koksijde)
