Camping 2013 (Preparations)

This has been a much anticipated trip, seems to be all the kids can talk about for the last few weeks! With the disappointment of the weather last year – remember here – we are all hoping for a much nicer time this year. Checking the forcast and it does seem like it will be a little better anyway 🙂

Either way we are ready to go now (see below), so we’ll just hope for the best. Will post an update after the trip…

Santry Races 2013

Well this week it was off to Santry Races for Tori, she got picked and qualified to race in the 400 meter relay for her school. She had been practicing a 100 meter stretch out our back wile getting ready for the race. An impressive time of 17.01 secs was the best time posted in training.

We don’t know what time she actually got in the race as the times were not taken, but overall her group finished 4th…!

We’ll have to try and make sure she gets picked for the individual sprint race next year 🙂

Another Motorcycle Show…!

Well not really, but there was some bikes there on show 🙂

This was a fun day out organized by the Vespa Club of Ireland. It was all in aid of St Joseph’s School for the Visually Impaired Children, and what a good cause. They put on a really good show for all.

Some pictures on dropbox here – and some more pics here under May 2013, “MotorBike Shows 2013”.

Motorcycle Shows 2013

We’ve been to two great Bike Shows so far this year, the RDS Motorcycle Show in March and the VJMC Classic Bike show in May. The RDS show was the same as previous years with lots of entertainment for all the family, as well as all the latest and greatest from each manufacturers for this year.

The VJMC show was more-so just about classic Jap bikes, which was not surprising give that the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club ran it…!
This was a good show also however for talking general bikes. There was quite a few beuatiful bikes on show. My favorite bikes are actually 90s Jap Sports Bikes, so I really was in my element there 🙂

Tori also had a great time at each show and we got some good pictures. I have posted the link here, see link to “Motorbike Shows 2013” under May 2013.
