An account intended for inclusion in the columns of the Irish Cyclist and Athlete, whose editor M.J. Mecredy here provides a preface. The riders on the "Singer's ten-in-hand" are identified in the text as Smith (photographer), Mecredy (organiser), Barry, Hayes, Harbison, Alex Mecredy "The energetic", W. Woods of Dundrum, Tuke, Nunns, J. White "the goat" photographer and cook. On the journey of some 400 miles (Dublin-Belfast-Londonderry-Enniskillen-Cavan-Kilmessan-Dublin) they were accompanied by a party of some thirty or forty cyclists on a variety of machines. The "ten-dam" was the only machine to complete the journey. The party included some Scottish riders and it was planned that the following year's tour would be to Scotland.
