Disinhibited after an exhausting Comeragh Challenge I approached Sean Kelly and asked him to sign my copy of his great autobiography ‘Hunger’

‘I cycled up Mount Ventoux 4 times in a day Sean! ‘ I explained excitedly.

‘Why? ‘ he asked

‘I don’t think I’ll ever add the Tour of Flanders to my Palmares either, Sean’ I added.  Well he started it.

Sean was patiently signing books and posing for photos when I passed one hour later. He had time for a chat and a laugh with everyone and shows no sign of having heard it all before. Wonderful!
