IHCPT have been delighted to avail of the encouragement and expertise of Sean Kelly each year as they prepare for their cycle through France to Lourdes. Sean, a friend of some of the cyclists from Carrick-on-Suir, puts the cyclists through their paces over a course designed to test and encourage all the IHCPT cyclists. Sean gives his time to each of the various groups who take part, encouraging and giving advice to all who are 'nearly' ready for the French roads.

Pictured above, Sean leads the troup of cyclists, onto the roads of Carrick-on-Suir. Plans are already in an advanced stage for the 2006 cycle and this years practice cycle with Sean will be in Kilkenny. It is scheduled for February 25th. More information later........ happy cycling!
