Gregory O’Reilly has taken upon himself to cycle the new 30 km Greenway on his vintage Railegh bike to raise funds for his grandsons school, so they can buy a new mini bus.
For his 79th birthday, the octogenarian undertook a 20km charity cycle from Virginia to Mullagh for Virginia Cancer Care.
Although now a seasoned cyclist, there was no suggestion the Baileboro native would be the maestro he has become.
“I had a bicycle at home as a teenager and I went to England when I was 19, I was 10 years there and I was 35 years in Dublin but during that time I never was on a bicycle at all,” recalls Gregory.
