Homepage of the Sentinel-Tribune (Online edition)
Journalist Jenise Fouts interviewed the team for the Sentinel-Tribune newspaper in Bowling Green, Ohio. The article can be read here, and the lads also got their picture on the homepage of the Sen-Trib wesbite!. Click here to read the article online.
A big “Thank you!” to Jane E. George and her family for making the interview happen!

The COA team were interviewed in their hotel by Irish American News (IAN) journalist Katie Hamilton. She recorded a short video and also wrote an article for the IAN website, which should hopefully be reaching the print edition in October.

The Cycle of America Team will hopefully be getting a mention tonight on KXLF TV in Butte, Montana, after a phone interview with cyclist Mark Leonard. They’ll also be interviewing us when we cycle into Butte on Wednesday. Check out the 5.30pm and 10.30pm news if you’re in Montana. They’ve also posted a brief summation to their website, which can be read here.
Rob, Eoin and Donal will be representing the team at our very own booth at the Rí Rá Irish Festival in Butte this weekend. It’s organised by the Montana Gaelic Cultural Society. We’re looking forward to flying the flag for Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow at the event! With thanks to Patrice and Monica. More details of the event here: http://www.mtgaelic.org/Festival1.html
Two online papers have also been kind enough to do articles on the Cycle.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/outdoors/s_692797.html
Irish Central: http://www.irishcentral.com/news/Irishmen-cycle-across-America-for-cancer-99716424.html
We’d also like to say a huge thank you to the Salish Lodge and Spa, Snoqualmie WA, The AmeriStay Inn and Suites, Moses Lake WA, Stardust Motel, Wallace ID, and the Mountain Valley Inn, Missoula MT, where we are staying as I write this. All of these places were kind enough to give the team some form of free accommodation. Without the the generousity of these people, and more to come, the Cycle may not have been possible. Thank you!
