One whole year 🥳 Great achievement Derek, me and the kids are always so proud of you and what you achieve. We love watching every week and knew it would take off. You give us some laughs 😂 onwards and upwards x
I’ve really enjoyed joining you on your journeys Derek. You have showed off our beautiful island excellently - both the landscape & the great sense of humour of its residents! When your videos drop into my feed, it’s always the one I find myself watching first & never missing. I’m also totally influenced to get out there on my two wheels enjoying the roads for myself which is what it’s all about! Keep up the good work! Thanks! 👏
Derek its been an absolute blast following your You Tube journey this year. You've shown the country at its best and the way you've done it with your personality and humour has been great, and Ive had a lotta laughs following ye !. Keep doing what your doing Derek, it doesn't need much twigging. Hopefully we'll meet up on the Bike at some stage next year ?. Thanks for the laughs 👍😂. Martin
That would be great Martin, I’m sure we’ll bump into each other at some stage. Thanks a million for watching along. We’ll see some more of the country this year. Plans are in the making 😃🤙
Fantastic Derek , Love the Channel, real down to earth Cyclist with all the normal life issues trying to fit it all in around the Cycling, Keep it up , hopefully catch up with you at some stage for a spin on our Glorious Island 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 in 2025
Congratulations on your first birthday on UA-cam looking forward to the another year of beautiful parts of our country and the laughs you gave keep cycling 😅
@ There’s no shortage of epic new route that would make great videos. Priest’s Leap with many options of Borlin Valley, Caha Pass, Healy Pass thrown in. Great roads & footage out around Allihies (Tour De Beara goes out there & does the Healy Pass twice!). The Mast Road in Mullaghanish is a beast (west of Macroom in Cork). On a clear day you’d get great footage. The Vee & Shanrahan in North Cork is class. ‘The Cut’ in Slieve Bloom is a great loop. I did an Inner City one last week in Cork City going up & down loads of small hills in the City. No shortage of material for you in Ireland!
Congrats on a year. I have been watching the vast majority but have just subscribed. The two I really enjoyed the most were the Festive 500 and the Goggins 48 hour one. Normally do the F500 indoors on FulGaz but this year I am trying something different. - 10000 metres of ascent in the same time frame. I also intend to do 2 Goggins attempts. The first indoors and the second outdoors in summer. I love the support your family gives you. You must be a proud man.
I’m dreading the festive 500 coming up, I know what’s involved now 🤣 that sounds a great challenge you’re doing. Might rob that and do it some stage 🤣 thanks a million for the sub and watching them. No joke, my wife is amazing. Supports it all 100%. The kids love it on UA-cam 😀🤙
Congrats on the anniversary, rralluly have enjoyed your channel since I found it. Your positive attitude and the epic tour with Shane. Beautiful rides in your home country, making it look like a great place to tide. Cheers from Southern California, looking forward to another year of vids. 🍻🚴👍☕🍻🚴
Southern California, man I’d love to visit your place. It’s on the bucket list if ever I get a chance. Thanks a million for the kind words, love to hear people enjoy it 😀🤙
Congrats on the first birthday. Look forward to all your future adventures. It’s great to have an Irish roadie on UA-cam, the Brits were takin over! You’ve got as much to offer as any of em Derek.
Ya know that was half the reason for starting, I thought Irish roads and landscape has so much to offer as well. We’ll keep plugging away 😀💪 thanks a million pal
Well done on the year of videos. Been lovely to see some of Ireland's great scenery, the enthusiasm in the videos is nothing short of amazing, even in the worst weather your still smiling and having laugh. You should really sort out Sponsorship by Gore-Tex, Go Pro and DJI, to save all these extra buys. 🤣
Haha I love the sponsorship, broke the camera this wk, dropped it on the bike 🫣 id probably bankrupt them in sponsorship 🤣 thanks a million pal for watching and the continued support 💯
Congratulations Derek. Great milestone to reach. I look forward every week to another video. Some achievement to get a video every week. Well done 👍🏻 it would be awesome to do meet up with followers with some time 🚴🏻
@patrickcrean7813 I have to be honest, long term goal if this ever takes off. I think Ireland would be an epic location and something different for people.
@ yes. I set up the same type of company years ago. It was based on classic car tours. I organised tours from the UK, booked Ferries, hotel, accommodation etc. Brexit destroyed it at the time and there was alot to organising in it. But there is definitely a market. I have a 3 bedroom en-suite house beside the Connor Pass that I do Air B and B in. Keep in touch’s
Congrats Derek on your first year. Look forward to the videos each week, particularly the challenges and the cycles around scenic areas. Gives me some motivation to get out there. Think I remember u from Ironman Barcelona 2019 (I was part of a KTC crew that completed that year). Keep it going. Really enjoyable. 😊😊
Congrats Derek 👏👏, great channel and brilliant videos. Some great drone shots especially down in Kerry. Might see you down there in 2025. Plan to do Ride Dingle, Ring of Kerry Cycle and hopefully L’etape if it returns to Killarney.
Well you’ve certainly done Ireland proud, some of the places you’ve showcased on here look fantastic 👍 I hope Specialized look after you because everytime I see that bike of yours I fully regret buying my trek madone 😢 can’t wait to see what you bring us over the next 12months. Keep it up 👍
Thanks a million Jonathan. I know what you mean, I absolutely love that green SL8. Just looking at it brings me joy 😀 appreciate the continued support pal 🤣
Out of all clips of me 😂😂that one 😂😂 well least it wasn't me falling on the bike I suppose 😂 had some crac over the year watching and taging along on some of your adventures, can't wait to see whats up next 💥💥
Well done Derek man. Great stuff love when a new video pops up. Really enjoy them and your humour. Great craic. Have you done the Ring if Kerry? Would love see that video. Your L'étape one was great i finished an hour or two behind you an i wasn't doing any camera work or talking 🥴. Looking forward to more of this.. well 👍🏻💪🏻🚴🏻♂️
Haven’t done a vid on the ring of Kerry but did the gap of Dunloe and back by mills gap. Save little route. Thanks Ray for the comment 😀🤙 L’Etape was great, really enjoyed it. Might bump into you at the next one 👊
I have just bought a Specialized S-Works SL8 size 54, I will have it delivered on Wednesday from Spain, I am very excited to see it, I have a Scott foil 10 from 2018 which is now connected to my home trainer where I ride a little Swift, good videos you upload here on UA-cam, I also follow you on Strava, greetings from Denmark 🚴🇩🇰
Great footage and craic. Get off that Zwift and get outdoors and continue the drone losses 😂😂 but seriously the footage is brilliant and your some character. Well done 👍
Actually, u might be an influencer - I quite fancy a loop of the Irish Sea myself. I've also lost a drone, or two. So hard to move and have em follow you. One I got back from a forest in Wicklow- minus all the props. T'others at the bottom of Kenmare Bay RIP. Love the videos pal, keep it up 👍🏽
Picked up in the LBS. Handy put on, didn’t cost much. In the middle of it today. 2,100mtrs climbed this morning, will do the same after dinner and get it done 👊
having watched your vids, i must get down to kerry next year for a few of them handy climbs! when does the weather turn from grim, to just about doable?
Kerry is place. As you probably well know you the rain here come any minute but may June always seems a good call. Sometimes the bad weather makes for brilliant memories, or at least that’s how I lie to myself about it🤣
One whole year 🥳 Great achievement Derek, me and the kids are always so proud of you and what you achieve. We love watching every week and knew it would take off. You give us some laughs 😂 onwards and upwards x

Fair play to you Derek. Your doing a top class job. Thoroughly enjoying the videos

Will do, we’re only getting started 🤣🤙
Fair play Derek, love seeing your enthusiasm.I really wnjoy seeing the roads of Kilkenny I used to cycle before moving away.
Keep it up.
Kilkenny is amazing, love it here. So good for the bike as well. Within minutes you’re in the countryside and away from it all. Thanks a lot Adrian 😀🤙

Sound Mick, I enjoy the drone stuff myself. Much better perspective of the landscape. If I just stop crashing the things 🤣

Ireland’s GCN. Love these videos

@@derekfeehan let me know if you are doing Kerry again. Did you ever think of setting up a cycling touring company?
@patrickcrean7813 I have to be honest, long term goal if this ever takes off. I think Ireland would be an epic location and something different for people.

Great stuff 👌
Thanks a lot, a great year 🤙

Thanks for the videos. I enjoyed watching them. Great channel
Thank you 😀 Kerry really is the kingdom 💯
Great video. I will definitely try to get to the Gap of Dunloe on my next visit. So much to see on your little island.
It won’t disappoint I promise you that. Go from the gap of dunloe and back by Molls gap. Beautiful 😍
cheers for the videos, nice to to have something local to watch while on the Zwift
Whatever helps get you through zwift 🤣 I’m debating at the min. Zwift for Tron bike meters or go outside but it’s raining 🥴
Well you’ve certainly done Ireland proud, some of the places you’ve showcased on here look fantastic 👍 I hope Specialized look after you because everytime I see that bike of yours I fully regret buying my trek madone 😢 can’t wait to see what you bring us over the next 12months. Keep it up 👍

Great footage and craic. Get off that Zwift and get outdoors and continue the drone losses 😂😂 but seriously the footage is brilliant and your some character. Well done 👍
Much appreciated Dave, the destruction drones will continue. 🤣🤙

The drones are excellent until they’re not and then it’s an expensive problem 🫣 thanks a lot pal, much appreciated.
Good stuff. Tron bike incoming 💪🏼 Where did ya get that mudguard? Need one asap
