Here are some pictures I took on the 1979 Tour of Ireland 8 day stage race. The race finished with a TT up St. Patricks Hill in Cork. The overall winner was Ron Hayman of Canada.

My apologies as these pictures are a bit mixed, please don't contact me looking for pictures, I will post more pictures here when I get some spare time. Even converting the pictures on this page took a fair amount of time.

Please enjoy the pictures that are already posted on the site.

A savage climb somewhere in Ireland!

Massive crowds were on the climb willing to help riders in trouble
