Truly worth visiting if your ever in the area of Killarney. 135km cycled with 1500 mtgs climbed. Cracking event that I will definitely do again next year.

Savage tips man thanks. You've proven yourself to be a man for any weather so fair play.. how often do you oil up the chain with all the mileage you put in?
I left my house at 3am the morning of L'étape i was pure f***ed going around. Where did you find the mobile homes? What a find
Some savage bite up that magic road. I need to take a trip to them towers
Fantastic achievement lads. An epic trip. Well done absolutely awesome.
Man will you do the Wicklow 200 something an we see how you get on. 😂
Hey man how long are the shop rides generally? Please say ya got green camo 😀
50km ish, one this Saturday. Ya can email and ask for a demo bike, sl8, aethos, Roubaix.
What about high visibility clothing.
Yeah that’s a good one 🙌 never thought of it, never really wear high vis but I actually bought one for the festive 500 coming up and it’s still in the package 🫣
Man you have me buzzing for a tarmac sl8. Even in the rain I get some buzz off your enthusiasm on the bike. The places you've shown on this channel are cycling heaven. Do you do a lot of solo cycling? Or do you send out a message for anyone to join? Great video even in rainy Ireland 😊
Ireland is amazing, even better on a bike! Mostly solo cos I have to work around the family and work. Easier to go when suits me. Thanks a lot pal 😀🤙
Another excellent video. Fantastic. Do you have a list of the routes you've done? On Strava or Garmin?Would like a shot at some of them .. I'm glad Shane protected his bike fair play 😁. Glad he was ok.
All on strava 👊 he’s a hard buck is Shane 🤣
My god man what an effort. Is it on the list this year?? Savage altogether.💪🏻
Sound pal, yeah I’m gonna do it again this year. Only a few wks away and I’m dreading it 🤣 last time I didn’t have a clue, now I know is what’s coming 🫣
If anything you'll be better prepared no doubt you'll fly it. I'd nearly join you for couple hours but doubt I'd stick in with your pace 😢.
@rayconnolly6446 looking like Fri 13th 6pm start again. It’s not a mad pace but it’s tipping. More than welcome to bang out an hour or two. Details will be on insta leading up to it.
Great to see ya battle the cold even with a nice warm Zwift setup at home 😉🙌🏻
I much prefer outside. If I can get out, I will 🤙 swift is more for when time is tight and the wife is working. I can somewhat mind the kids while on that 🤣
Nice one , check out the Santini Winter gear 100% quality ...👍
Yeah definitely can’t go wrong with Santini. Top quality 💯
Great tips Derek. Keep ‘em coming. I’m loving Velo Revolution’s Belgian socks too.
A savage bit of kit, it’s all about the comfort 🤤
Brilliant video and no coffee stop 😅 fair play going out in this weather keep on cycling 😊
Hard to stop for a coffee and get going again in the cold. Still calorie counting at the minute 🤣
You can get those neck buffs with the Irish colors as well. I prefer the Canadian one. The food and beer kept me in Kilkenny. Can’t beat that Smithwicks
Canadian flag well with helmet 🤣 I’ll bring it with me when I’m over visiting 💯
You dont need to cover your face with that beard 😂 I’ve been looking for a good waterproof jacket that can pack away, got a castelli lightweight rain jacket and it’s crap lasts about 2 mins and starts to soak thru.
The beard is like a sponge, soaks up all the rain 🤣 I will say that Specialized jacket is bomb proof. I’ve been in all sorts of weather and it never let me down. I get no kick back off saying it either. It’s a top bit of kit.
Are u ever worried about wearing all black when out on the bike? Most good weatherproof cycle clothing is all black unfortunately
Always 🙁 would you believe I actually bought a high vis vest and left it in the car 🫣 I knew where I was going for that vid so I had a good hard shoulder and quite roads but I def could do with a bit of colour 🤙
I was thinking of getting that specialized jacket you have but was worried about being seen.I would probably have to wear a high vis on top of it 😂
@poncealot good back light and you’ll be fine. Blind them 🤣
Great video as usual , loads of good tips. only thing you forgot to mention is a pair of rubber boots to go after the drone 😂
Get out of it 🤣🤣…..it was never my fault 👀🤣
Can't beat the auld seal skins, two base layers Gore winter jacket still haven't put on bib tights saving them for jan/feb, great video
Fair play, how ya not got on the bib rights yet 😵 I feel like a soft lad now 🤣
@derekfeehan Dublin lad not as cold here, I'm as soft as the best of them
Great tips. Good to know what to wear when I go out again next June 😂
🤣🤣..I feel like that myself 😅
Finally, know the proper way to put on a neck buff 🙌 😂😂 great video id die with the heat with all them layers doh😂 , keep them coming 👌💥💥
I’d love to see your version of what ya wear for winter. Bib shorts, short sleeve jersey and maybe some gloves 🤣🤣
@derekfeehan 🤣🤣 sounds about right 🙈🤣🤣
You’re a brave man out cycling in the snow. I’ll give it a miss I think. Great video
It’s Baltic out there. It’s only time for a bit of zwift or putting the feet up in front of the fire 🤣
Back in the 70s people used brown paper … toughen up 😂😂😂
We’re spoilt these days and I’m grateful for it 🤣 must have been miserable back in the day on a bike, no creature comforts 🥴
@ not at all. Sugar cubes were used for food and getting into a warm bath in your cycling gear meant everything got washed 😀😉
@daveallenwex1962 🤣🤣
I still put a sheet of newspaper inside my shirt. Great so stop the wind going through you
@ the Kilkenny boys would be a bit soft 😂😂😂
Some good tips Derek. 👊
Hopefully it might help someone, I think this winter is going to be really wet and cold 🫣 we got no summer here at all.
@ Yep, I don’t mind the cold so much but wet 💦 😖
Great thanks for your sharing, it seems to be pretty esay juste have to follow instructions and be patient 😊
That’s exactly it, just take your time and you’ll put it a lot quicker together than I did 🤣
Great videos Derek, I’m hooked. You mentioned previously you had a SL6 and now the SL8 (the absolute beast 😂). How do you think they compare? Is the SL6 still a great bike in comparison?
Haha sound Shane, Davie was telling me 🤣 The SL6 is a mega bike, I keep telling people it’s a top bike to get. If you can get your hands on one their savage. SL8 is king but you wouldn’t go wrong with the SL6.
@@derekfeehan great thanks. I have a Cannondale SystemSix over here in Belgium but have a chance of buying a SL6 for back home. Might just pull the trigger on it. Keep knocking those videos out, although I’m wrecked with 5am starts staying up watching them. Watched all 54 videos this week alone 😂😂
@ you won’t regret it. If ya fancy a spin anytime your back, give me a shout 🤙
@ 54 in a week 🤣 I don’t I could even listen to myself that long. Haha that’s amazing, top man Shane 🤣🤙
@@derekfeehan definitely would love to catch up for a spin, that’d be class. I’d have to get me hair done for the camera though
Derek its been an absolute blast following your You Tube journey this year. You've shown the country at its best and the way you've done it with your personality and humour has been great, and Ive had a lotta laughs following ye !. Keep doing what your doing Derek, it doesn't need much twigging. Hopefully we'll meet up on the Bike at some stage next year ?. Thanks for the laughs 👍😂. Martin
That would be great Martin, I’m sure we’ll bump into each other at some stage. Thanks a million for watching along. We’ll see some more of the country this year. Plans are in the making 😃🤙
Good stuff. Tron bike incoming 💪🏼 Where did ya get that mudguard? Need one asap
Picked up in the LBS. Handy put on, didn’t cost much. In the middle of it today. 2,100mtrs climbed this morning, will do the same after dinner and get it done 👊
Had some buzz watching this man that was class an hilarious 😂😆. Brilliant stuff tge healy pass is on me hit list now looked unbelievable 😊
We eventually got there 🤣 it’s an unbelievable bit of road. Well worth a visit.
Congrats Derek i enjoy watching videos
Thanks a lot Paul, it’s great to get the feedback 😀🤙
Out of all clips of me 😂😂that one 😂😂 well least it wasn't me falling on the bike I suppose 😂 had some crac over the year watching and taging along on some of your adventures, can't wait to see whats up next 💥💥
Haha I swear it was meant to more clips but it was taking forever. That gave me the best laugh 🤣 we had a good year, festive 500 is t far away 👀🤣
Great video Derek and fantastic achievement 1 whole year of wonderful videos, here’s to many more. Thanks for making cycling fun again 💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks John, we had a good laugh on the SUDS. Def a highlight of it all 🤣🤙
@ fact 😂
Congrats on a year. I have been watching the vast majority but have just subscribed. The two I really enjoyed the most were the Festive 500 and the Goggins 48 hour one. Normally do the F500 indoors on FulGaz but this year I am trying something different. - 10000 metres of ascent in the same time frame. I also intend to do 2 Goggins attempts. The first indoors and the second outdoors in summer. I love the support your family gives you. You must be a proud man.
I’m dreading the festive 500 coming up, I know what’s involved now 🤣 that sounds a great challenge you’re doing. Might rob that and do it some stage 🤣 thanks a million for the sub and watching them. No joke, my wife is amazing. Supports it all 100%. The kids love it on RUclips 😀🤙
Savage bit of editing that
Thanks Richie, much appreciated 😀🤙
Well done Derek man. Great stuff love when a new video pops up. Really enjoy them and your humour. Great craic. Have you done the Ring if Kerry? Would love see that video. Your L'étape one was great i finished an hour or two behind you an i wasn't doing any camera work or talking 🥴. Looking forward to more of this.. well 👍🏻💪🏻🚴🏻♂️
Haven’t done a vid on the ring of Kerry but did the gap of Dunloe and back by mills gap. Save little route. Thanks Ray for the comment 😀🤙 L’Etape was great, really enjoyed it. Might bump into you at the next one 👊
Well done on the year of videos. Been lovely to see some of Ireland's great scenery, the enthusiasm in the videos is nothing short of amazing, even in the worst weather your still smiling and having laugh. You should really sort out Sponsorship by Gore-Tex, Go Pro and DJI, to save all these extra buys. 🤣
Haha I love the sponsorship, broke the camera this wk, dropped it on the bike 🫣 id probably bankrupt them in sponsorship 🤣 thanks a million pal for watching and the continued support 💯
Congratulations on your first birthday on RUclips looking forward to the another year of beautiful parts of our country and the laughs you gave keep cycling 😅
Hard to imagine a year already 🫣 loving it though 😀🤙
Fair play to you Derek. Your doing a top class job. Thoroughly enjoying the videos
Appreciate that John, thank you. 🙏
Congrats Derek. Love the videos. Keep up the great work.
Will do, we’re only getting started 🤣🤙
Keep it up👍👍.
Appreciate it pal, thank you 🤙
Congrats on the anniversary, rralluly have enjoyed your channel since I found it. Your positive attitude and the epic tour with Shane. Beautiful rides in your home country, making it look like a great place to tide. Cheers from Southern California, looking forward to another year of vids. 🍻🚴👍☕🍻🚴
Southern California, man I’d love to visit your place. It’s on the bucket list if ever I get a chance. Thanks a million for the kind words, love to hear people enjoy it 😀🤙
Congratulations on the landmark Derek. Channel is great & followers are growing. Bring on more epic rides & videos for 2025
Yeah its slowly growing all the time. Looking forward to see what comes from the next year 💪
@ There’s no shortage of epic new route that would make great videos. Priest’s Leap with many options of Borlin Valley, Caha Pass, Healy Pass thrown in. Great roads & footage out around Allihies (Tour De Beara goes out there & does the Healy Pass twice!). The Mast Road in Mullaghanish is a beast (west of Macroom in Cork). On a clear day you’d get great footage. The Vee & Shanrahan in North Cork is class. ‘The Cut’ in Slieve Bloom is a great loop. I did an Inner City one last week in Cork City going up & down loads of small hills in the City. No shortage of material for you in Ireland!
Love it, I’ll definitely check them out. Priests leap in keep hearing about. Thanks for that
Great stuff 👌
Thanks a lot, a great year 🤙
Fair play Derek, love seeing your enthusiasm.I really wnjoy seeing the roads of Kilkenny I used to cycle before moving away. Keep it up.
Kilkenny is amazing, love it here. So good for the bike as well. Within minutes you’re in the countryside and away from it all. Thanks a lot Adrian 😀🤙
Well done on a year Derek ...think Discover Ireland needs to get ur footage for to sell Ireland as a cycling destination...❤
We have it all here. Ireland is a brilliant spot for the bike 🤙
Fantastic Derek , Love the Channel, real down to earth Cyclist with all the normal life issues trying to fit it all in around the Cycling, Keep it up , hopefully catch up with you at some stage for a spin on our Glorious Island 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 in 2025
I shouldn’t have kept showing my car problems, Skoda will never work with me 🤣 definitely pal that would be great 👍
Thank You for sharing your cycling adventures . Enjoyed each & every one ! looking forward to the next year 🍻
Thanks for watching pal and always helping the channel out by interacting. Much appreciated 🙏
Congratulations 👏 Love the content, keep it up pal 👍
Thanks a lot Stephen, appreciate you giving it a watch 😀🤙
having watched your vids, i must get down to kerry next year for a few of them handy climbs! when does the weather turn from grim, to just about doable?
Kerry is place. As you probably well know you the rain here come any minute but may June always seems a good call. Sometimes the bad weather makes for brilliant memories, or at least that’s how I lie to myself about it🤣
