Good morning USA. Here's a photo of the practice area. It's a tight one. The event itself is located in the heart of the city - with two sections right near the paddock and hotels. The rest of the sections are along the coastline.

After a slight drizzle we were treated to a Irish rainbow.

Here's Fugi-gas and his team working on an insane climb. It took him a couple attempts to make it.

Great Photos Craig! Thanks for posting them .

Best of luck to Pat. We are all proud of him.

My pleasure, Martin. I'll do my best to provide you all with coverage of the event and the culture we are experiencing here in Europe. We're getting more comfortable with the tour as the day's go along. But, I'm not going to lie to anyone, this is very tough, both physically and mentally. As much as we've learned, we're still learning.

Pat, Noel and I really could use all the internet cheering from the USA as we can get. Yes, we're getting home-sick at times.

That climb is Almost as big as the one in Minnesota.!

Hey Craig - Great pics - I echo the other comments, thanks for being our eyes & ears on the World Stage, we all wish Pat the very best of luck - we hope the "Irish Eyes are smiling on him"

Here's a photo from the hotel rooftop.

Oh what nice rocks! Let 'er rip Pat!

Proud Papa.

Thanks for the pictures and the updates. We're all cheering for Pat. Don't expect me to feel too sorry for you for being there though!!! Got to be better than Chicago!

Hey, we got tent space, this is really good!

How is the Irish beer? Sure to have something other than the Guiness?

Pat , I have seen you ride. You CAN do it. We all love what you are doing. Thanks, May sound kinda corny but you have a whole country behind you. Do your best and you will kick butt. Way proud of you. Go get them.
