The Team

The 2012 team consists of 7 school staff and 2 parents.

The riders are Mr Sweeney (Head Teacher), Liam Lynch (Chaplain), Mr McGlaughlin (English), Mr Simpson (PE), Mr Walsh (Maths), Mr D’Urso (Parent) & Mr Reilly (Parent).

Backing them up in the team bus are Mr Knapton (Site Services) and Miss Devlin (Head of 6th Form).

All of these riders were cycling novices when they took up the challenge, some didn’t even have a bike to use – one is still borrowing a friends! The training has been gruelling and several of this final team were drafted in to replace others who have had to retire with training injuries.

Of those who remain two have had serious bike accidents in the last 6 months, 1 rider has had severe bronchitis and another has put his back out!
