HUGHIE GALLAGHER
AKA 'Galaxy'
​
PRIMARY FUNCTION WITHIN THE TEAM
As a new member my role so far has been on the routing car but I'm open and willing to help out in any other roles that crop up.
STAND OUT MOMENT SO FAR
Being at the finish line to receive Joe as he broke his own Malin-Mizen-Malin World record by over 4 hours.
MOST CHALLENGING MOMENT SO FAR
Every moment in the routing car is challenging becuase "if we get it wrong, he'll get it wrong"! and that doesn't bear thinking about! So far. so good.
WHY I DO IT
I have cycled for over 30 years, doing various challenges and wanted to experience the world of the crew team!
TJB HAS TAUGHT ME
When things are tough and you think you can't go on, just keep moving forward and think positive.
FAVOURITE JOEism
The hardest part of the challenge is getting to the start line!
IN 3 WORDS – YOUR TJB EXPERIENCE
Never give up.....
DID YOU KNOW
Hughie cycled the Wild Atlantic Way 2500 kms solo in July 2018 and raised €12,500 for the fantastic children's charity Bumbleance.
HUGHIE ACCORDING TO JOE
I feel the difference when Hughie puts his hands on my back at the finish line. The race is over and it’s time to settle.
