George Hook interviews William on Newstalk

May 8, 2010 admin No comments

William appeared on the George Hook Talk Show on News Talk 106.  He talked about our fear of conquering the dreaded Rockies, our training and the towns we plan on cycling through. He gave a great account of the CoA Team and we hope to appear on the show again in the near future. Thanks a lot to George Hook for all the support and we look forward to him welcoming us into Washington D.C.

Listen to William’s interview:

Heroes in Hiding Gig

April 21, 2010 admin No comments

We had a great turnout last night ( Tuesday 20 th April ) at Crawdaddy on Harcourt Street for our music gig with Heroes In Hiding headlining and Shouting at Planes supporting.  Both bands gave enthusiastic performances to the delight of the audience, singing a mixture of original songs and covers.  With a fantastic atmosphere and top class music the night was a complete success.  A great night’s entertainment!  A total of €600 was raised on the night.  Thanks to all those who attended and to both bands, definitely stars in the making!

A Special Thanks to guys in Wheelworx

March 30, 2010 admin No comments

We took a spin over to Triathlon and Cycle specialists Wheelworks new shop in Fonthill Retail Park , just next to Liffey Valley Shopping Centre, Dublin after a fundraising-packed weekend in St Stephens Green.

Have to say we were massively impressed with the new shop which has everything a cyclist could ever dream off (yes even you Lance)- all top of the range gear, we were just salivating looking at it all!

We got great advice from the lads in the shop and in particular Mark Lacey (special shout out) helped us with selecting essential equipment from everything to top quality pedals to socks and a comfortable saddle for the trip.

In fact we were so impressed by young Lacey that William decided to stalk him for his autograph!!

We (Mark and William) had entered into the Alive Outside Duathlon race in Phoenix Park on Sunday 28th March and found ourselves standing next to Mr Mark Lacey and the Wheelworx crew at the starting line, of course that didn’t last very long- soon all we saw of him was the dust he left in his wake! But we persevered never the less, and finished in very respectable times of 46 minutes (William) and 47 minutes (Mark) respecitvely.

If you too want to stalk Mark Lacey check out the website (http://www.wheelworxbikes.com/ ) or head over to the shop, you might even have a look at the bikes while your there!

Run, Thanks

Thanks for the Photos and Business Cards

Special thanks to Design Printworks in Swords and Flyerwire for their help with business cards.

We also need to say a very belated thanks to Kyle Tunney (http://www.kyletunneyphotography.com ) who volunteered his time and skills and braved a cold, bitter winter day in Dublin Mountains to take some shots for the website, business cards and brochures.  The professional quality of the pictures is a testament to the abilities of Kyle, given the little talent he had to work with!

Thanks , ,
