The Mountain is Waiting

Collected my new Lapierre mountain bike at Cyclesports today. Fantastic advice from Paddy. I had been to Ballyhoura yesterday with Kevin, Anthony X2 and Declan. Was so taken with the experience on a rented bike that I decided there and then to do the business!

Added extras: shoes, clip-in pedals, summer tyres, bike-bag & tube and camelbak water backpack.

Lapierre X-Cantral 210

I am reminded of Dr. Seuss: "Today is your day, your mountain is waiting, so get on your way."
