Old Irish Cycling Photographs from the 1980's

The pictures are from the

Harry Reynolds Memorial in Balbriggan - Organised by the Balbriggan Cycling Club on 26/07/1981

Liam Toolan Memorial in Nth. Dublin - Organised by the Emerald CRC on 24/03/1985

Klondike Cup in Robinstown - Organised by the Navan Road Club on 10/08/1986

1981 Gorey 3 Day - Stage 3 Gorey Circuit - Organised by the Irish Road Club on Easter Sunday


I apologize for the quality of some of the pictures; however, I feel it's more important to share these pictures as they are, especially with some of our past greats no longer with us like Paddy Flanagan (Kildare), Liam Keenan (Santry), Harry Dawson (Bray) and Seamus Kennedy (Meath).
