Staff Blog: A Week of Two Wheels but not the Motorised Kind!

Updated: 20 November 2014

I’ve not turned a wheel on the Yamaha Fazer8 for the last couple of weeks.

Instead of being power assisted I’ve been producing my own power and cycled, along with a group of ten family and friends, from Dublin to Galway and back. We had a brilliant holiday, with plenty of hills to conquer, I’m sure Ireland must be on some sort of see-saw because whichever direction we cycled in we seemed to be ascending!

I’m really keen to now go back to Ireland and explore further but will definitely not be cycling, next time I’ll take the motorbike.

Office Manager and centre of the MCN universe - Over my twenty plus years working for MCN, I’ve had the pleasure of being part of the best motorcycling family in the business. Passing my test in 2005, I’ve been part of the MCN Long Term Test fleet, testing a mix of machines, from my first Kawasaki ER-6n, through to the Ducati Diavel, and pretty much all genres in between. I love nothing more than loading my bike up with kit and disappearing off for a solo adventure. Over recent years I’ve taken solo tours to Scotland, Southern Ireland, France, Venice and Berlin. All of which have been great fun and whet my appetite for future riding jaunts.
