Cycling Around The Horseshoe Bend : Sports Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

From a bicycle seat my Father said you could see fields scattered with wild flowers and pedal on to Chimney Corner or Seven Mile straight and back.

But the big test was not to get out of your seat as you climbed up the hills round the Horseshoe bend  , for if you did you'd be in for some slagging and Craic


Bikes where the only thing then that ran up the Crumlin road and
the odd horse and cart you might have past towards the start of the Horseshoe bend

 

The pace was fast and fair and a good time was shared on their bicycles  that rarely stopped until the ride was over and the day had come to an end .

 

By Paul McCann
