Taking it indoors

And showing that I’m taking this cycling a bit too far is the news that I’m borrowing a Turbo Trainer of one of the guys from boards.ie -this is a device that essentially turns a standard bike into an exercise bike. I’ve been toying with the idea, but there are downsides from the boredom to [...]

And the results are in…

I am now officially a B.Sc (Hons) Computing (second class lower division) -yup, a 2.2 for AJ, which isn’t so bad for the amount of work I put in, so all’s well that ends well with that
Couple of lads got firsts, another couple of 2.2’s, so a good mix for everyone

Tough tough day…

I can honestly say that I’ve never stretched myself before as much as I did yesterday. 5am start after a fairly sleepless (due to nervous energy) night, and on the road by 5.45 (yes, I had to cycle the 10k or so to and from the start line!), to meet T at 6. Bit of [...]

twenty twenty twenty four hours to go

Until the Wicklow 200 -eep!
It’s a slightly weird feeling, because I know that I can do the distance fairly well -it’s not much longer than the longest spins I do with the boards lads, but because it’s an event with checkpoints and numbers and loads of people rather than a bit o craic on a Saturday [...]

Jon Ronson

Today, we went to a preview screening of “Reverend Death“, the latest film by Jon Ronson. It centres on the activities of  George Exoo, a Unitarian minister from West Virginia -a practitioner of assisted suicide, but not on terminally ill patients. It’s a very powerful film, and is definitely worth watching (it’s on Channel 4 at 10 on Monday), [...]

Tried something new today

And went out track cycling!
Never thought about it before, but Cycling Ireland were running an accreditation day, so a few of us off boards.ie went down and had a pretty good day I’m used to riding a fixed gear track bike, so had no problems with the riding, but the banked track and poor, [...]

Busy Weekend

This Thursday and Friday are my last two days of the internship, so it’s ‘bye bye’ from me then… two years coming to a close. It’s a little strange that I’m nearly finished college now, and will be hitting the real world again in about 6 weeks… eep!
Speaking of Friday, after work I’ll be heading [...]
