Title: It's a small world!
Post by: gearoidmuar on February 21, 2012, 07:23:04 PM

I live in Cork and cycled to Bandon today into a strong wind. When I had had something to eat I came out and found a man admiriring my bike. He told me that he was a cyclist and we discussed the hub etc., etc.,

I finally asked him his name. He was Andre Jute who has posted some posts here!

I don't know. Where exactly are you touring?

The coast of West Cork and Kerry makes one helluva tour.

I was just saying to my wife, "See, if you buy good cycling luggage, it lasts forever," about this faded, worn Caradice rack top bag on this black Thorn, when the owner came out of the pub. He turned out to be someone with whom I've had correspondence! A small world indeed.

You're right, Jags, I have a modest bicycle netsite, http://coolmainpress.com/BICYCLING.html
